PMID: 9032756 I've played with body temp. I can drive it up to 98.6 eating 2300 kcals and not gain weight, or I can be freezing in a 78 deg house, temp 97.4. When I say freeze, I mean wearing warm-ups inside a room at 78 deg. If I walk 30 minutes I'll warm up, but I'll be right back to freezing in an hour or so, once I sit down. The way to stay warm is eat more protein, in my case ~ 90 - 100 grams. Going to bed after the high meal, I'll have to pull off the t-shirt I wear most of the time. In about one hour, I'll pee 8 oz and drop almost a pound, apparently from respiration. I can actually eat the junk food, and lose weight, simply by raising my temp. Wouldn't it be nice if I could raise my temp with just 1800 kcals and lose weight, WHEN I want to? (and not freeze in cold weather). Regards.

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 Hi JW: I wonder what this may mean, if anything, about the heat generated in the body by endurance-type exercise.

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 My take on any exercise is that it makes free radicals. I don't think I need a lot of those. Endurance exercise sounds like building up to a continually higher level. I did that one time on the treddy, starting at 3 mph 60 mins, then gradually increasing the speed by 0.2 or so, in subsequent sets. I got up to 4.2 mph as I recall, in the 3rd mile. That was about as fast as I could walk. The result was increasing BP at each point I measured it, usually after each 10 mins. It was obvious to me the work required raised BP. I didn't feel it was worth the risk. I ended up at 3 mph, 30 min 3-5 times per week. As I tracked the BP, it reached a plateau low. With a low fat diet, if I lay off a week, it will take about 2 days to get back to the low. In this article, it looks to me the raised room temperature would be equivalent to maintaining exercise to keep the body temp up, except my exercise would not be 24 hr. Regards.
