Re: Hot Flashes

little bio 101 estrogen is stored and made in fat cells so when you lose weight by using up body fat that extra stored estrogen can escape too. this can mess up TOM cycles that have been regular for yrs and cause other symptoms related to estrogen issues.

it could also be your temp regulator part of your brain adjusting to the lower amount of waste heat being produced by the more efficient fatty acid metabolism and it is responding to sensors telling it you are cold.

Re: Hot Flashes

be sure you ask TOM not Tom as Tom is the owner of this place and TOM is time of the month and never the two should be confused LOL LOL

yep you are liberating body fat if it is caused by that and you should be happy. If it is a hormone issue it will self regulate with time.
