Hi! I know that this is a really odd question, but is anyone else experiencing feeling cold all of the time? I've been in the zone for just over two months now. Prior to starting the diet I was hot all of the time. I mean, I would be dripping with sweat I was so hot. Granted, I live in Phoenix, so hot is expected. Anyhow, for the last month and a half or so I've just been freezing all of the time. The only thing that has changed is the diet. I have lost 10 pounds, but I can't imagine that's enough to change my body temperature so drastically. So I'm just wondering if this is a common side effect or if maybe there's something else going on in my body. Thanks!

Hi!
Congrats on your progress Barb!
I've never heard of feeling cold from eating in the Zone. You might want to check with your doctor. |

Thanks, I feel really good! You know, aside from being cold <img src='http://www.zonediet.com/desktopmodules/ntforums/images/emoticons/smile.gif' height='20' width='20' border='0' title='Smile' align='absmiddle'>
Thought maybe it was related to the insulin entering my body slower and making my internal furnace deflate. Probably just a coincidence that the two started together.
Thanks for the response! |

| Hi! You posted previously that you've been taking synthroid for a number of years. Feeling cold is a symptom of hypothyroidism. If it continues I'd check with your doctor. |

| Way to pay attention Sue! I did just have my thyroid checked a few days before I started the zone and I'm normal. Just a coincidence. |
