🌟 Surprise Side Effect of Weight Loss! 🌟
Ever imagine that shedding pounds might leave you feeling a tad… cold? Personal trainer Julia, who’s dropped an incredible 5 stone, shared a side effect no one seems to warn you about – being chilly! 🥶
Over on Instagram, Julia (@getfitwithjuliat) opened up about her unexpected experience. “After losing 71lbs, I’m so freaking cold to the point I’m uncomfortable. I have to wear layers,” she shared, and it turns out, she’s not alone! Her post racked up over 1,700 likes and plenty of comments from others who feel the same.
Why does this happen, you ask? Losing weight can mean:
1. Less insulation – Body fat keeps you warm, so dropping those extra pounds can make you feel cooler.
2. Decreased energy expenditure – With weight loss, your body’s metabolism might slow down, producing less heat.
3. Hormonal tweaks – Calorie cuts can alter hormones that help regulate your body temp!
Comments from followers poured in, resonating with Julia’s chilly revelation. “Same,” one said, while others mentioned cranking up the heater.
If you’re on a weight loss journey and feel the chill, try these:
– Add layers to stay snug.
– Drink warm beverages and keep moving – these little acts help more than you’d imagine!
While a bit of chilliness is normal, check with a doctor if you notice extreme cold intolerance or other related symptoms. 💪✨
Stay cosy, and keep smashing those fitness goals! 😊
