    Dammit why did you post on this thread and put it on the front page, its over a five months old. Hate when I get suckered in by that.

    so you are saying because my body temp is normally 96.7 that my body burns fewer calories than someone whos body temp is 98.6??? just curious. so therefore it will take me longer to lose weight than someone of equal weight and height eating the same deficit?

    A 1.36 degree F increase in temperature raises metabolism by about 7%. So an identical person to you with a 98.6 degree average temp would have an almost 10% benefit in metabolism due to their body temp.
