anyone else experience hot flashes while on atkins? i am normaly always cold, but since doing atkins, while sleeping i am burning up, i have to kick the covers off. and the hot flashes don't last long. just wondering if anyone else is going through the same thing?

I went through the same thing when I started. It was very weird, because I was always the one wearing a down jacket everywhere when everyone else was wearing shorts. Okay, not that bad, but close. Then all of the sudden I was burning up and having hot flashes. I adjusted after a week or two. That was the last weird thing that happened on induction to go away, but it did. I'm pretty sure it is a result of your body upping it's metabolism. Byproduct of burning energy is heat, so I found it encouraging.

I had the opposite problem. I would wake up with night sweats every night. Now that I do Atkins no more night sweats. I can't figure it out but I am grateful none the less.

I have hot flashes all the time-LC didnt change anything there.
But now I feel a real surge of warmth after a meal that is new-hope I'm burning the fuel right there.

I have these same symptoms since starting this diet. Night sweats.

Count me in as a Hottie! LOL I have to wear shorts most of the time at home and I have to have the ceiling fan on when I go to bed...

I get cold easily. especially my feet and fingers

"raises hand " hehehe yep my hands and feet are constantly hot i can always tell when i am in ketosis from how hot my hands and feet are =)

I had that when I started, now I freeze!! LOL

hands and feet stay cold but I get hot flashes too? Weird

Gee...I've been burning up the past couple of days even when the temp in my house is 70... I never made the connection until this thread ....I have lost 6 pounds in 4 days so I guess thats why then.

Being really hot can be a sign that your metabolism is trying to deal with excess calories. I've had it after after I've really pigged out. Naturally skinny people, the ones that seem to eat anything and everything and never gain, have this in aces. Their bodies just burn off extra calories by generating extra heat.

Being cold usually means your calorie intake is low. I know I always freeze to death when I'm watching my calories, especially after I've lost weight initially.
