Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this; I used to be hot all the time but now that I've reduced my calorie intake I'm FREEZING ALL THE TIME!!! Has anyone else noticed this?

    I can't say that I'm cold ALL the time, but I am frequently. It was the worst in the beginning.

    Not due to calorie decrease but due to losing the weight I tend to be cold more often than I was.

    Less insulation. You'll get used to it.

    Oh yeah. My hands are ALWAYS cold. Seems as though I lose weight I get colder and colder. I used to be sooo hot ALL the time and now, I'm the one wearing a sweatshirt at work when it is 75* outside.

    Yup, fat is a natural insulator. Just look at whales.

    Yeah I'm definitely suffering with you. However, I'm hoping it keeps me nice and chill during the hot summer months.

    My boyfriend said its a normal side effect of calorie restriction. I think the body is trying to hold onto the calories that would normally be burned heating you up. It just means the calorie restriction is working :)

    Really!? I wonder why that is? I thought it was dry skin so I have been putting on lotion every time I feel an itch, but that's going to get expensive :wink:
