NalaPlus3 Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 I had a particularly intense (for me) workout today. Not too long after, I started feeling really cold. Not "wow it's cold in/out here" but a cold that seems to come from inside. I've had this happen to me in the past, after skating a strenuous session, wearing a t-shirt on the ice, the stepping out in the hot summer sun, with a sweater and THEN being cold - so it's definitely not weather related. I'm now a few days post-whole-30, still eating mostly whole-30 (I had some non-compliant ham last night, and some non-compliant kombucha). After my workout, I had a few spoonfuls of hazelnut butter. I did not add carbs, because according to the chart in It Starts With Food, I figured I probably don't need it. (After checking again, maybe a bit would have been fine). I'm still overweight, my %fat is too high, but I have decent resting HR, so I assume I'm still closer to the left of the graph, rather than right. So. Why does this happen? is it food/fuel related? Is this an indication that I should have had carbs? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators SugarcubeOD Posted April 14, 2018 Moderators Share Posted April 14, 2018 Have you done any research on this in general? When I google 'Why do I get cold after a workout' there are dozens of reputable articles on the first page about proper cool down and chills/cold after working out. Not everything is food related altho I didn't read all the articles so maybe one of the solutions is to eat carbs - have a read through some articles and see what you can find.

Administrators ladyshanny Posted April 14, 2018 Administrators Share Posted April 14, 2018 Post Gym Chill!!! I've always gotten this after a strenuous workout and I have always attributed to not enough post workout protein! Mine always kicked in 30-45 minutes after exercise.
