Hi, in Northern California here and have noticed I'm not losing as much
weight as I was the last time I tried this diet back in November. Is it
because my body deosn't need to burn as many calories to keep me warm? It
doesn't ever snow here but maybe the cool weather of winter makes enough

What do you think?

I remember reading some years ago that people who live in the Artic regions
seldom gain body fat.

It makes sense, our bodies are furnaces. When the outside temperature
lowers, our bodies burn more fuel to make heat.

It's more likely because you're eating too much and not doing enough
exercise.

If that were true, Eskimos and Norwegians would be very thin. Hmmm. Well,
in any case, I don't believe there is a significant change in caloric burn
rate with changing climates.

Try using http://www.FitDay.com to monitor your calories. That may get you
back on track.

I've always been a DIY kind of guy.

Thermogenesis does have an effect. I lose more weight in the winter. I do
remember reading quite a bit about it years ago in a book called "The
Princeton Plan".

I don't think you should wait until winter to start however. I don't think
it is that huge of a difference.

the 1911 is a famous and much copied .45 caliber handgun. the idea being
that waiting for the cops to show (from a 911 call) will usually get you
killed.

Hi,

it seems that our body has the lowest metabolic basal rate
at a room temp of app. 20°C / 68°F. This is with clothes on,
which insulate our bodies and maintain a temperature near our skin
of app. 30°C / 86°F.

Anything lower OR higher than that will raise your basal rate.

This is not a question of the outside temp - YOU must
be sweating or freezing. If you actually spend your California winter
at, say, 15°C / 59°F room temperature in light clothes you can
expect an increase in your basal rate of app. 5%.

I have a MBR of 2400 so that would be an (uncomfortable) extra
120 kcals per day for me.

Take care,
Hamburger
