How Do You Beat the Cold?

This year has seen record-setting freezes and winter storms throughout much of the country, and the cold weather will stick around for a few more weeks. Whether you are a New Yorker who has seen temps dip below 0 degree Fahrenheit or a Californian who shivers when it is below 50 degrees, what do you do to keep warm?

    I wrap up in so many thermal layers, I look as if I've not lost any weight at all. My 'fat' layer is now sponsored by The North Face

    It's been miserably cold here in NYC. I started wearing my Hot Chillys thermal top and bottom which are normally reserved for my ski trips. I find they really help keep me warm when I'm outdoors in

  • I was a guy that was never cold, in fact I would secretly turn down the thermostat when the wife turned it up! Boy things have changed. Since being sleeved on December 23 I am COLD!! it has been cold

  1. 1. How do you beat the cold?

    • Exercise more. It gets my metabolism going and keeps me warm for hours. Plus, I burn extra calories!

    • Drink some hot coffee or tea to warm up my insides. Plus, since my weight loss surgery diet doesn’t let me eat solid foods when I drink liquids, drinking coffee or tea keeps me from turning to food to warm me up.

    • Turn up the heat or start a fire in the fireplace, pile on the blankets, and distract myself from the cold by reading, playing board games, using the computer or talking on the phone.

    • Nothing in particular, but I need help! Since weight loss surgery, I have been less able to tolerate cold than I used to be.

    • I hate to admit it, but the only thing that warms me up is some good old comfort food…macaroni and cheese or freshly baked cookies. Luckily, I can’t tolerate much after weight loss surgery!

I have to wear a jacket at work. After a workout, I reward myself with the hot tub and sauna at the gym. Then I can brave the below zero windchills. At home I use a blanket always. It's true that since losing weight I get cold and have a hard time warming up.
