How to warm up?
Published 1 year, 6 months ago in My life.I feel cold all the time. Does anybody know how I could speed up my metabolism or something? On the up side, I never need air conditioning in summer, but winter is torture! People give me funny looks because of all the clothes I have to wear. I’ve tried eating small meals regularly, but it’s not really working. Please help!

Yo girley, I bet you’re real skinny right? Dat’s why you is cold all da time, but I guess you already know dat right?
Well… if you can, eat pizzas till your tummy is a wee bit tight, drink beer, eat icream, just enjoy food, but I reckon “eat till your tummy is tight” - your friends will be jealous ’cause if they eat like you they’ll … well I think you know what will happen to them. Errrrr this is just my opinion but will it work? Dunno. When you are 30 yrs old you may automatically gain weight, this is common.
You can also check out the body building mags; they talk about changing your mat… matib…metabol that word (metabolism) by changing your diet - they give you a diet.
You go girl!
Join the club………..a fellow eskimo. I too am cold all the time, but I have an underactive thyroid, and that is one of the main symptoms.
I dont know anything that makes you warmer, except for hot cups of tea, coffee and soup. Warm foods. Warm clothing. which is hard when everyone else is wearing skimpy long sleeved t’s and I’m wearing thermal Long t’s from anaconda and the like, under fleecy jackets.
Even worse, I work with someone who is the oposite, so I’m sure someone will post a note on here one day to advise I was in hosptial with pneumonia !! She has the fan going every time she gets a hot flush……..i have stalacnites or lites or tites even on the end of my nose !!!
A first aid remedy for you, would be to cook a potato- one for each pocket, wrap in al foil. They stay hot for ages, and are great hand warmers.

Shadow says, what is wrong with the cold, i play in it, sleep in it, and work in it. Shadowmaster says i have been known to sleep under snow, and the temperature down there was minus fifty degrees.
Arrrrhooooooo

Maybe you could go to a camping store such as Rays Outdoors or Annaconda (Bayswater) and buy some thermal clothing. Havent been to Rays in a long time, but Annaconda have some great clothing stocked especially designed for the cold without being too bulky. I’m opposite to you, I prefer Winter over summer, I can never get cool enough in summer even with a good air conditioner.
There are two no-cost solutions:
1. Go for a good long run, or even a fast, brisk walk;
2. Sex
Believe it or not, you feel cold because your body is giving off heat. The solution is to trap the heat and the best way to do this is layering. Several thin layers are better than one thick one. And don’t forget your head, the greatest heat loss area of the whole body. Hot soups will also help as will exercise, sexual or otherwise, but don’t work up a sweat as this will cool you as it evaporates, making you feel colder.
My usual fee please, 25 guineas.
sit by the fire with a good book and a home made cup of soup does wonders
I wonder what would be cheaper, buying enough food for you to gain that extra ten kilos you need or buying the warm clothing you need…
I’m going to have to recommend the food. Eat, Nebs, eat!!
You take your normal choleric intake and divide it into six small meals, you will keep your metabolism working all day… this is not an excuse to over eat, just keeps it ticking over. and for crying out loud put some clothing on. As for sex, that will take care of a couple of minutes for some of you out there! lol
I am always very cold until l put on mythermal long johns and thermal spencerThe best brand is Holeproof thermalite.You will never be cold again.
I am originally from England .. my best tip is to make sure your feet are always cosy .. hot toes = hot body!
i don’t
like being too cold or hot
Geez it was too freezing this morning here, the car was covered in ice and I couldn’t open our wheelie bin to put the rubbish in because the lid was frozen shut
. We usually have icy mornings later in Winter. Hopefully no more for a little while.
Eat more Mexican food. Or Indian food. Or Afghanistan food - I hear it’s horrible but it’ll distract you from the cold.
Go to Max Brenner’s Chocolate Cafe at QV (think there’s one at Highpoint also).
Nothing warms the soul like a sinful hot chocolate- I recommend the Venezeulan, which comes served in a HugMug-perhaps the cutest mugs ever, which you cup in your hand rather than hold the handle.
Also, the chocolate fondue with strawberries for dipping is simply divine, dahhling.
When are you going to do more rapping? That will keep you warm girl!
