in Health and Weight Loss
Since I have started to lose weight I have noticed I am constantly FREEZING. Its 82 degrees outside and im inside wearing a sweatshirt. Anyone else notice this? Past few weeks I am constantly cold, its weird!!
Someone suggested I may not be eating enough, I eat around 1000-1200 calories a day so I dont see the problem or correlation. Anyone else notice this?

    That's definitely not enough. Try upping your calories by at least 200 just because I know you exercise ;)

    Yeah its probs not enough. But I am also always freezing, I think having 55lb less insolation does it though :(

    When I lost weigh the first time (yo-yo dieter here) I did notice that. I went from being warm all the time to cold all the time. It comes along with weightloss sometimes.

    As mentioned, I would up the calories 200 especially if you're exercising and burning. I've been cold as well since my journey too. Always wearing a sweater in the office.

    The weight loss does change the body's thermostat..haha..but yes, you need to seriously add more to your diet..regarding calories..your body's telling you..."hello..we need some kind of fuel to keep warm..since your taking away our insulation..." so check out, maybe your not getting enough carbs and protein..

    I'm feeling cold as well. Even after reaching my goal weight and returning to eating a weight sustaining 2,200 calories per day I'm still cold. Despite the inconvenience of layering up with clothes I'd rather do that than return to my previous insulation. Good luck and congratulations on the weight loss.

    I've noticed this myself, as well. I used to be HOT, like sweaty hot, all the time, rarely ever wore jackets (it had to be freezing outside). Then this HOT summer happened and I was chilly constantly! I had to take a sweater with me everywhere, air conditioning was terrible!

    There was a week in the summer where the heat index was in the 100s and I was literally shivering outside without a jacket on. Turns out I was fighting a cold, the illness never got bad but I did need LOTS of sleep to really get over it. I hope you're not getting sick! If that's not the case then yes, definitely, I agree with the other posters that you need to eat a little bit more.

    Your caloric intake might be the issue....but I would begin by looking at WHAT your eating instead of how much. You might need more fiber, protein, carbs, etc... I suggest finding a hearty bean filled chilli recipe since we're about to hit perfect chilli weather :)
