just wondering

does anyone know if eating a high protein diet will make your metabolism high? I have been Hot all day and everyone around me is not someone told me today it may be my metabolism racing due to the high protein. I personally thought it might be horomones LOL. Just wanted to see what you guys thought

Are you sure its weight related (wink wink)?

I don't know if high protein makes you have hot flashes or not but I have been one of those people who is always cold....even in summer I use a sheet, blanket and quilt.  The blanket is an electric one.  Lately however I have been hot then cold, then hot, cold...etc.  I thought maybe I was AGAIN going thru the change but maybe this is normal  for those of us that lose weight rapidly or like you said, eat a lot of protein. I know we have those nurse types in the audience so it would be great if they would weigh in on this...

yes that would be great to hear what they say of course im just 36 so i hope its not THE CHANGE at least not yet! LOL

I am in menopause and still have the occasional hot flash.  However, since surgery, even in the first few days, in August, I get cold so easily.  I know that I now have less insulation, but in the dog days of summer to be freezing?  Weird!(just like me! lol)

yeah for me since the weight loss, i go cold then hot, cold then hot, always like you have the flu or somethng, especially when i am in bed in the night... not sure what that is... keep up the protien, as that is sure something that i seriously struggle with... so you go girl.  Tammy
