I feel like a human heater. Ever since I have really strapped down on my workout routine, starting eating healthy, and have slimmed down, I have felt like a heater. It just seems like I am expelling more body heat than normal, and I can't even be close to my boyfriend at night. If I am I have to have the covers off. He even says just by hugging me I feel hot. I feel I have lost quite a bit of body fat, and maybe that's the reason why I am expelling more heat. Please express your opinions!

Your metabolism is in high gear. Congrats. That is what you want.

It's also due to increased circulation caused by the exercising, especially if you use weights. The weight barring exercises make the veins enlarge, so you get a much better blood flow.

I kinda feel the same way but mostly at the gym. I get heated up pretty quick. I never get how some people can go to the gym and work out in in a hooded sweatshirt and sweats. I basically wear the same attire during the winter to the gym that I would wear during the summer to stay cool.

It's normal and nothing to worry about. I know im pushing my body hard so the "heat" reaction is absolutly normal.
