Mokele Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Probably a function of both your core temperature (which may be slightly higher than normal) and your natural tendency to shed heat. If you naturally don't shed as much heat as other people, you'll not feel 'cold' as easily, since 'cold' is really just your body signaling that it's losing heat too fast. However, because you don't shed heat as fast as others, in warm temperatures you cannot get rid of excess heat as well, and your body overheats, resulting in the preception of warmth.

insane_alien Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Yeah, i get this as well. takes temperatures below 0*C for me to consider it cold enough to get a jumper. even then, if i have a jacket i won't be wearing one. holiday in lanzarote was hell for me. for a whole week the temperatures were over 50*C. i spent most of my time in the ocean where it was cooler. took ice packs to bed with me.

visceral Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Same here. I don't put on weight easily despite eating a shit ton of sugar and fat, so I assumed it was because of a fast metabolism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamey2k9 Posted February 19, 2009 Author Share Posted February 19, 2009 what is this thing about whilst your young (most the time) your skinny even though you eat tons of crap and when you get older you suddenly start gaining weight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mokele Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 As you get older, basal metabolic rate decreases, so you burn less energy just sitting around than before. Since, as mammals, this represents most of our daily energy expenditure (burning energy to keep our bodies warm), this results in a noticable decrease in your daily calorie burning, and if you don't reduce input calories similarly, the result in weight gain.
