Why Do I Feel Very Cold On Your Diet?Updated 2 months ago

Why You Might Feel Cold on a Low-Calorie Diet


When you're on a low-calorie diet like ours, your body undergoes several changes due to calorie restriction. One common experience is feeling colder than usual. Here's why:


Metabolism and Energy:

With fewer calories, your body has less energy available for normal functions, including maintaining its usual body temperature. As a result, your metabolism may slow down, which can lead to feeling cold.


Body's Response:

In response to reduced energy intake, your body conserves energy by lowering its core temperature. Additionally, as your body starts to burn fat for energy, you may lose some of the fat insulation that helps keep you warm, further contributing to feeling chilly.


Staying Comfortable:

While this is a normal response, it's important to stay warm, keep active, and stay hydrated to help your body adapt to your new plan. Dressing in layers and engaging in light physical activity can help maintain body warmth.


If the cold sensation continues or becomes uncomfortable, it’s a good idea to consult with a healthcare provider to ensure everything is progressing well.
