Y do I feel like a human heater? - Exercise & Fitness Message Board

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. I even drink a lot of water! Please express your opinions!

It's your metabolism. I get the same way. You're burning extra calories, and they are being released from your body as heat. If you really want to have some fun, check your body temp (like you would when you have a fever)... it'll fluctuate 2-3 degrees depending on the time of day and how long it's been since you last exercised.
