I'm on an 800cal/day diet, started 3 days ago, and it's about 70
outside but I've got on 2 pairs of socks, heavy pants, a sweatshirt and
another zip up sweatshirt and I'm freezing, esp my hands. Usually I'm
the one in the winter not wearing a coat as I am always warm so this is
strange and I was wondering if it was a normal side effect of a very
low calorie diet? I just cannot seem to find a way to get warm.
Btw, I hope to be welcomed, my previous dieting history was for about
12 years I maintained a weight of 305 to 310, 3 yrs ago I started
weight watchers and got down to 214 lbs in just over a year, then quit,
(didn't feel like I could count another point) and gained a lot back
and am 268 today, though 3 days ago upon started this mostly liquid
diet I was 178, so I realize I've lost quite a bit of water in the last
3 days. I'm trying to drink 9 cups of water a day, could the water
weight loss cause this cold? Thank you for any help.

I did a vlcd. I think the cold is simply your body's way of telling you it
doesn't have enough calories to keep warm. I used to have to wear gloves
inside.

Why so low? Most people can lose on 1000 to 1200 I read somewhere.

Start counting points again. If you're counting calories you can count
points. ;o)

Please try and eat at least 1000c a day, and get some exercise.

Not necessarily so. I have a nutrition program that counts my calories and
calculates everything for me. It doesn't do points, and neither do I.
