Hello all,
Today I was using the elliptical machine, and I was really burning it up. I was working out at 85% max heart rate, L9, around 7 mph average, for 40 minutes. During my workout I got VERY cold. I thoroughly enjoyed this workout. It was not cold there, in fact the a/c or any air wasn't on me at all. It wasn't too hot but not cold either. Do you think it's abnormal to get very cold all the sudden like this?
(p.s. I was not dehydrated, very impossible that I was dehydrated.)

    Were you light headed or dizzy in any way?

    No, not at all. I was feeling great. I just felt chills. Even right now, 9 hours later I am a bit cold.

    I also have been urinating A LOT. I have been drinking a lot so that's why I don't think I could have been dehydrated. Maybe I had 3 liters of water today. But the chills happened before all of the water was consumed. Before exercising in the course of the morning hours before beginning the workout, I drank about a liter of water.

    You wouldn't happen to be on a keto diet would you?

    I'm on lower carb, keeping carbs under 50 per day. My carb count has been around 30. Do you think this is a side effect of lower carbs?

    ETA: I googled and found keto flu. Maybe this is what it is. I do have a lot of the symptoms of that. It's day 5 for me in my change of eating patterns and exercise.
