I get the cold hand/feet feeling when dieting.. Its due to lower bf as galeniko said and it might be an indication of your metabolism slowing.. You might need a high calorie meal.

No it's not lower body fat, it's something to do with glucose levels affecting bodyheat regulation. You can be 30% BF but if you fast for over 24 hours you'll start to feel the cold.

I've been at about 18% and fasted for 48 hours and I was freezing, but hadn't lost any bodyfat.

i think thats something about metabolism...cause for example if i eat small meals,small portions 100g pasta portion per meal and 4 meals-I feel cold,and if i eat that meal in 1 shot i dont have that problem!
i ate that way all year round,bigger meal and am fine,but when am eating small meals am cold...smaller meals are good cause i dont feel hungry and i can maintain my weight without training and cardio if i want,but the bad side is this fucking coldness!

It can be every reason listed:

- bodyfat is insulating so lower body fat results in less insulation and more coldness

- lower calorie intake when dieting = less energy is being burned (thyroid output), less heat is generated, more coldness

- lower carbohydrate intake when dieting = lower serotonin levels, serotonin is a body temperature regulator, makes you feel warm

There's probably several other things I'm not thinking of right now but I'll post them later should I think about them.

Agree with this more. I'm normally at very low BF all the time but only really felt the cold when i competed and was coming down with low carbs.

funny thing is,when i didnt know anything about bb and dieting as i remember i never ever felt this symptom...but my weight was stable all the time!of course i wasnt in the shape like now,but the weight never jumped 20 pounds up or down...like symptoms of beeing low of energy,beeing extremly hungry" did you remember before you started bb or started learning about nutrition that you felt extremly hungry or you had lack of energy for many days-i dont think so!actually having muscles is not good for are body,the body is not designed to carry a big mass

futile energy cycle.   burning off of excess calories as heat.    this is  one of the main functions of fat burners.     they raise body temperature, and this is achieved by turning calories to heat.

so in a calorie deficit, (diet), the body will be more frugal with burning calories, and drop body temperature to save calories.


that, and the holes in your socks.

Since it doesn't happen to everyone who diets, check your iron levels.

JF, Whats your opinion on Sports Anemia?


Sports Anemia

(cut paste from Web)

Sports anemia refers to a period in early training when athletes may develop low blood hemoglobin for a while, and likely reflects a normal adaptation to physical training.

Aerobic training enlarges the blood volume and, with the added fluid, the red blood cell count per unit of blood drops. While true anemia requires treatment, the temporary reduced red blood cell count seen early in training goes away by itself after a time.

Physically active young women, especially those who engage in such endurance activities as distance running, are prone to iron deficiency. Research studies show that as many as 45% of female runners of high school age have low iron stores.

Iron status may be affected by exercise in a number of ways. One possibility is that iron is lost in sweat and, although the sweat of trained athletes contains less iron than the sweat of others, it is usually simply an adaptation to conditioning. Still, athletes sweat more copiously than sedentary people.

Another possible route to iron loss is red blood cell destruction is that blood cells are squashed when body tissues (as the soles of the feet) make high-impact contact with an unyielding surface (such as the ground). In addition, in some athletes at least, physical activity may cause small blood losses through the digestive tract.

Thirdly, the habitually low intake of iron-rich foods, combined with iron losses aggravated by physical activity, leads to iron deficiency in physically active individuals.

Iron deficiency impairs physical performance because iron is crucial to the body’s handling of oxygen. Since one consequence of iron deficiency anemia is impaired oxygen transport, aerobic work capacity is going to be reduced because the person is likely to tire very easily. Whether marginal deficiency without anemia impairs physical performance remains a point of continual debate among researchers.

Physical activity can also produce a hemolytic anemia caused by repetitive blows to the surfaces of the body. This condition was first noticed in soldiers after long forced marches (march hemoglobinuria). Today, it is more often seen in long-distance runners since soldiers are now better equipped with protective foot gear. March hemoglobinuria can also result from repeated blows to other body parts, and has been observed in martial arts and players of conga and bongo drums.
