Feeling cold is a feature of VLCD and ketosis. it's worse when you are tired and of course winter is harder than summer. Socks, hats and other sexy clothing for bed are essential. Gentle exercise also helps to warm you up. It gets better when you have lost weight and it's summer.
I think doing Exante in winter is tough but the results once you are in it are fantastic.

Cramp is worse at the start but settles down as the body adjusts. Add a bit of salt to soups and drink lots of water, that seems to help.

Cool that's re-assuring, like the idea of feeling better slimmer in summer too

I have to sleep in fuzzy socks or i cant sleep at all. Takes me ages to warm up too.

I'm constantly freezing which the kids in work are finding amusing that I have to wear two pairs of gloves to teach them - and obviously under my boots I have 2 pairs of ski socks.

2 duvets at night for me too - so glad the cold is the only side effect I really get.

The cold is definitely the worst bit. I work a lot in big fridges so not looking forward to next week. Thermals at the ready and lots of hot tea to drink
