Lost a lot of weight and now "hot" all the time
Quick background - weighed 206 (desk job) 3 years ago - had not worked out for over 4 years at that time. Epiphany occurs - got off my managerial butt and began running 4 times a week for the first year and then added road biking to the mix 2-3 times a week since then.
Long story short - now weigh 168. (47 years old, 5'9")
However, ever since I dropped below the mid to upper 170's - I run "hot" all of the time.
High body temp (99.0 on average), sweat easily, feel like any food I eat is burned off inside of 3 hours. Even got tested for diabetes - negative. Weird that when I had the body fat - I was cold most times irregardless of actual ambient temps - now at my skinny self- I throw the windows open every chance I get in order to cool off.
My wife jokes that I have caught her menopause - but I am curious if this shift in metabolic rate affects people who have lost a lot of weight and/or work out regularly?

i have had the opposite problem, I get colder a lot easier now. Just our bodies way of reacting to such changes I guess. Oh yeah, and I cant float on my back when I swim anymore and that pisses me off.

I have lost a bit of weight (~30 lbs) and I have noticed that I feel hotter as well. I sweat like a freakin' pig when sleeping; very annoying. Last winter I wore shorts day in and day out (admittedly, "winter" here is pretty mild, but we still occasionally see mid-30s a point at which even hardy Minnesotans think I'm a little "different").
erm . . . I take a multivitamin. And some beers + burritos . . . maybe it's all of those hot chili peppers?
What suppllements are you taking?

Hey Corporate, It sounds like Hyperthyroidism to me. Guys can have thyroid problems too, especially athletes...Ask your doctor for a thyroid test, it's just a simple blood test, good luck. Jaz

do you notice one side of your body is hotter than the other, by chance?
