Always FREEZING since starting this diet. Anyone else?

whenever i lose a good chunk of weight, i get cold easier..i chalked it up to getting rid of insulation:)

I asked my dad the same question the other day. He's had experience with losing lots of weight and knows how the body reacts to changes in lifestyle. Losing weight causes you to become more lean, you're getting rid of the fat and producing more muscle. The more the lean you get the more efficient your internal thermostat will become.

Im constantly cold.. at times i cant control the shivers I put my head under the blankets. My apt is 69 degrees.. I shouldnt be freezing lol. At work i sit with the portable heater on me! I havent lost that much yet but I also attribute it to the water intake.
I was always the HOT person, who always said, It is HOT In here ?? lol

I welcome the change in the summer since I used to sweat so bad that I couldn't wear makeup. It was so embarassing! The winters are brutal now though since I live in Ontario Canada. No we don't use dog sleds :laugh: but it can get VERY cold. With the wind chill it can reach -40 Celsius. I used to be ok as long as I was bundled up but now I like to hibernate all winter if possible.

Get more active in the winter when outside. I am cold when just standing around, but if I get out crosscountry skiing, skating, or even tobogganing with my son, I am fine, because I am active doing those things. Also, get better winter wear. Most of the stuff out there is made for fashion, but insulation. I really don't care about fashion, I want a coat that is well designed to keep me warn, ie. A good amount of quality insulation (down, thinsulate or the like) an good ability to keep the wind from blowing through so those insulations keep a good layer of warmed air.

I feel cold all the time when I'm not moving around. I used to be warm all the time but now I light the gas log and huddle around it in the evenings. I keep the thermostat at 70 which is the lowest I can tolerate. My husband complains I'm now stealing the covers.

Yes, I have felt cold much more often than I did before I lost 75 lbs. To top it off, my wife is going through menopause and now feels hotter than she ever has. It is a real role reversal for us. I want a fire going and the heat turned up and she just rolls her eyes and turns the heat down. It is pretty funny, actually.

I was constantly cold when I first started losing weight... Used heated blankets (in Houston!) Sweats, and multiple hot showers a day just to function. (wool coats all day at school) It became ridiculous. Not to sound like snake oil salesman, but weight lifting about every other day as heavy as I could, and cutting my cardio to around 1.5 hrs per week has freed me from all that. Last night I didn't use the heating blanket... And the house was 73degrees! Normally that's frigid to me!

I am blaming the lack of insulation. Since I started this little "get healthy" journey I have dropped my body fat percenntage by 5.4 percent. And right now... unless I am working out... I am always cold. However, upon reading the comments, I think the body going into ketosis is a good explanation as well. After all, to stick into a deficit, the carbs are limited. But, at least be reassured that you are not alone!
