Why my hands are so cold?

[RONJON]

Anyone experience this...every time I shake a patients hand at work they tell me my hands are freezing lol. Maybe from dieting or something just wondering

Slight Renauld's disease?
Possibilty.

sometimes cold extremeties are just an indication of bad circulation. do you smoke cigarettes? drink a lot of water??

 

[BigCracker]

Are you watching your carbs??? If so it's because your body needs carbs to heat itself. If you weren't wearing shoes and socks your feet would probably be cold too. Anyway, if you're following a restricted carb diet this is totally normal.

That's what I was thinking too.

My first thought is a nerve problem or circulation problem. Im having a bit of trouble in my right extremity right now also. Adjustments and massage are helping.....basically a combo of slight nerve compression and tight muscles.

Are you taking any type of ephedra or yohimbe based product?Both of these can cause cold hands.

is it winter where u live? not being a smart ass...

my gf is always ice cold..even in the summer her hands are cold

same issue here.

Up until 2 years ago I could work out in 30-40 degree weather with a tshirt on. I can't anymore. Ive turned into a bitch with cold weather and even now with it starting warm up some I feel like my extremeties are unusually cold. Between eating better and working out you'd think I would be running warmer than I used to. I always ran, "hot".

....can't put my finger on it either, but I'd like to know.

since i have began my contest prep, i have lowered my carbs, i in turn have had colder hands/feet...I thought this might be why....thanks..

I have a tendancy for really cold hands and feet myself, smoking cigs and weed made it even worse. To the point where in winter they would go purple, pretty insane.

Reynaud"s Disease is feasible. Check thyroid levels as well... People were mentioning carbs as a possible factor. Low carbs can affect thyroid levels.

u r dieting. it just comes with the territory

Poor circulation

I would look into reynouds as well. I mentioned to my doc that I get cold hands and feet even if its warm outside and in the witer they will turn purple. He had me do some reading on it and said that if it bothered enough, caused pain, to come and see him as they give a kind of vaso dialator to help combat this if it is extreme enough.

I got the same thing right now, but for me the only time my feet are warm are in the shower and during my cheat day.
