For the past few day's I've felt cold and just can't seem to get warm.
This is very unusual for me, 'cause I'm the guy who's always fighting
over the thermostat because I want it colder.
FYI, I've lost 17 additional pounds since February 28th (21 days).
Along with the fast weight loss, I'm sure that my triglyceride and
cholesterol levels have dropped; I know that my blood pressure has.
I'm also taking a fistful of supplements daily including fish oil,
flaxseed oil, and garlic -- besides a new prescription for
extended-release Niacin (Niaspan) all geared towards getting the blood
lipids better stabilized. My blood sugar has been perfect regardless
of when I test it.
Does anyone know if this rapid weight loss could have any bearing on
feeling cold? I've never experienced it before. I go back to the Dr.
in two weeks for a blood lipid check; guess I'll mention it to him.
Just for background, for the past 3 weeks I've been keeping my carb
intake around 40g/day (thanks Roger, I didn't need to keep them any
lower); I've avoided most dairy (not permanently but just to help cut
back on calories for awhile). I've been limiting my calories to
around 1200/day, and I'm having trouble eating that much; I'm having
to remember to eat because I'm not getting hungry -- especially at
lunchtime. I've been eating a McDonald's bacon ranch salad without
the croutons and no dressing most days for lunch, and my evening meals
has been very basic: either meat/chicken/fish and vegetables with a
sprinkling of grated parmesan .. or Hannah Guren's ItalianSausage
soup. The only snacks I eat are snow cones with Splenda sweetened
DaVinci syrups. Been trying to walk as much as possible for exercise
(I have a physical disability that limits the kinds of exercise I can
do).
I'm not going to post my new weight yet; I don't want to jinx it. When
I reach goal I'm going to post the "after" pictures alongside the
"before" on my web site.
But this cold feeling is bugging me. Any ideas?
TIA
