🧊 Why Do I Feel Cold on the New You Plan?
When you are following a Diet like The New You Plan, you may notice yourself feeling colder than usual. While it can feel a little uncomfortable at times, this is a normal and often positive part of your body’s transformation.

Here is why it happens, and how you can stay warm and comfortable along the way.

🔥 Metabolism and Energy
When you reduce your calorie intake, your body has less immediate energy available for everyday functions, including maintaining your usual body temperature. As a result, your metabolism may naturally slow down a little, and you may feel colder, especially in your hands, feet and other extremities.

🧠 Your Body’s Smart Response
To conserve energy, your body may lower its core temperature slightly. This is a completely natural response. Also, as you begin to lose fat, one of your body’s natural insulators, you may feel the cold more than you used to.

✅ This can actually be a sign that your body is tapping into stored fat and using it for energy, which is exactly what we want on plan.

💫 Why This Can Be a Good Thing
Feeling cold can be a subtle signal that your plan is working. It may mean:

• Your body is in a calorie deficit
• You are actively using stored fat for fuel
• You have less insulation, which can be a sign of fat loss progress

🌟 Tips to Stay Warm and Comfortable

Here are some simple ways to keep cosy while your body adapts:

🧥 Layer up – Wear warm clothing to help retain body heat
☕ Enjoy warm drinks – Teas, Coffee, bouillon or warm water with flavourings are comforting and hydrating
🚶 Keep moving – Light activity increases circulation and helps generate warmth
💧 Stay hydrated – Dehydration can contribute to feeling cold
🛌 Use heat packs or a hot water bottle – Perfect for an extra boost of comfort in the evenings

🩺 When to Check In with a Healthcare Provider
Feeling a little colder is usually a normal part of the journey. However, if the sensation becomes extreme or does not settle, it is always a good idea to speak with your GP just to be safe.
