Opposite of a fever? - Page 2

**pr_capone** · 03-10-2008, 11:07 PM

Ok... my temp has been hovering between 96.5 and 97.3 for the past 2 days. Went to work today and the school nurse sent me home but did not seem concerned about my temperature.

Just said there was a viral thing going on that was causing this in a few people. Other than a sore chest from coughing, sore throat, and massive congestion, I actually feel quite well. No chills or cold sweats.... or anything else of that nature.

Should I be concerned or will I just have to wait this out?

Anyone else dealing with this right now?

Try to keep it going. Think of the money you'll save on air conditioning this summer.

I hope your temperature ramps back up soon.

I hear ya bud. I had the same crap about 2 weeks ago and am still fighting off the remnants of it. Plus, I had to deal with the stomach flu a week ago just to top things off. My immune system is shot to hell.

You are dieting currently, right? It isn't unusual for the metabolism to slow after an extended calorie deficit. This shows up as a lowered body temp (among other things, of course). Here is an excerpt from one of Lyle McDonald's newsletter:

Quote:

Q: I have the hardest time losing weight/fat and I'm hoping you can help. I have used a number of standard maintenance calorie estimation equations but I find that reducing my calories below that point doesn't really cause much fat loss. My morning temperature is about 97 degrees if that has anything to do with it. I"ve heard a lot about 'starvation mode' and how it can cause fat loss to plateau, what do you think about that?

A: A low body temp relative to normal indicates that metabolism is suppressed. Every degree below a norm of 97.8-98.2 is about a 10% reduction from so called 'normal' metabolism. This is related to changes in thyroid, nervous system, insulin and leptin levels. So your true maintenance is probably a good 10% below any estimation equations you may be using. which is why the equations aren't accurate for you and why you're not getting the predicted fat loss.

Basically, to lose fat effectively, you may simply need a larger deficit which means either cutting calories more or doing more activity.

Or see about getting the hormonal issues fixed. In order of ease/offensiveness to most people:

1. Taking 1-2 weeks at maintenance eating (and at least 100-150 g carbs/day and normal caloric intake) can help. This helps to upregulate leptin, thyroid and nervous system activity. This is the full diet break described in both the Rapid Fat Loss handbook and my Guide to Flexible Dieting.

2. The ephedrine/caffeine stack would be the next step as that serves to fix the nervous system impairment.

3. Getting some thyroid blood work done (and taking thyroid medication if necessary) would be the more involved step but woman moreso than men tend to have low thyroid as a matter of course.

In terms of the starvation mode thing, there is NO doubt that a lowering of metabolic rate occurs with dieting (part of this is due to the loss of bodymass, part of this is adaptive and due to hormones), I'm not disagreeing with that at all. All it means is that fat loss becomes harder/slows down; I disagree with the stance that it is ever sufficient to slow it completely, it can simply make fat loss so slow as to be effectively zero (and certainly smaller than either the variance in our ability to measure changes/the changes in scale weight that occur a sa matter of course).

your obviously gonna have to change your diet. May I suggest sausage for breakfast, Ham for lunch and a pork chop for dinner.

**pr_capone** · 03-11-2008, 10:00 AM

LOL

My diet is fine. I am not over exerting myself with my workouts and eating like a normal person.

I will, though, look into the all pork diet. I hear its all the rage with the Hollywood faux celebrities.
