I know body temp has been discussed, but I can’t find a answer. So here it goes.
I just started the T-Dawg 2.0 yesterday. I had been on it a few months ago but was not serious(this time is different). Anyway, my question is, why is my body temp up and why won’t I quit sweating? I woke up last night with my pillow soaked.
I’m consuming about 1500 calories and at this point I am pretty fat. 225 and around 20% bodyfat. From what I have been reading your body temp should be lower on a low cal diet correct?
The sweating and being hot does not bother me. I am more worried if I am hurting myself.
If you have cleaned up your diet alot and are consuming more calories you could just be noticing an increase in metabolic rate( this is a good thing b/c it would mean you are burning more calories as you sit their and type that post )
Yes. The T-Dawg diet contains whole foods which require more processing. One of the by products of your body digesting fiber-rich foods and whole proteins is heat.
To put it succinctly…one of the reasons for eating more meals neglecting hormonal respones and a myriad of other factors is this…(this is a simple personal trainer explanation):
Every time you eat your body temperature rises. If I remember correctly it doesn’t depend on the quantity of the food, just the fact that you ate. A higher body temperaturre then helps to catalyze (not the chemically correct term…I’m not sure if heat is a catalyst…it just speeds up reaction times b/c it causes the molecules to collide more) a chain reaction in the body leading to an increase in chemical reactions and ultimately a higher metabolic rate which then rises your body temperature even more. It’s one of the few positive-feedback mechanisms in the body…Luckily there’s also a negative feedback loop to taper it off otherwise we’d be dead with fried organs.
