I get hot after eating...

[take.it.off]

Is this normal?

I get really hot and red in the face right after I eat. Then, it goes away after about 10mins.

Is this just my metabolism "kicking in"?

Awaiting a reply too.. lol. I've always been cold and now that I'm eating more than once or maybe twice a day, I'm hotttttttt too... Maybe this hot will transform into being Hawt.. sounds fair to me.

I had this exact same thing happen to me! I am ALWAYS cold... until I started eating more. Getting my body out of starvation mode... now I am HOT all the time. Its wonderful, but kind of hard to get used to since I'm used to wearing hoodies all the time! It is definitely the food. I keep sugar free popsicles in the freezer for when I get really hot... especially during the hormone week... it helps cool me down alot.

My first thought was a food sensitivity! Is it after something specific or everything?? I don't think its a metabolic thing. I get that way sometimes after eating something with sugar, since my body isn't used to it, but I think its more of an insulin thing.

nope - right now it is after everything I consume!

I was speaking to my acupuncturist and according to her, it is my metabolism. Which would be WONDERFUL! lol

i get hot after eating oatmeal sometimes. It kind of creeps me out. I would like to think that it's my "metabolism" but it probably isn't. More likely that I'm sensitive to something in my oatmeal.

Errmmm... 'metabolism'?

Or it is likely the normal thermogenic effect of food/ feeding that most individuals get following eating (more specifically seen with carbohydrates +/- protein).
^
Some people have larger reactions than others to different food types/ meal sizes...

Is it going to 'get you ripped'?
Unfortunately, no.

lol, yeah, I figured that was a stretch.

But it's nice to know that I am feeling a thermogenic effect that I have never felt before. I guess that means I am getting the combinations/food choices right.

i actually get cold after i eat for about a half hour or so. the rest of the day, though, i am usually hot. i am always in short sleeves in winter because i am always warm, except for that darn half hour of so after i eat. then i am cold! weird...

[inkpoisonedsoul]

it could be because your body is actually working to digest what you eat and you feel the heat from the energy that your body is exerting, just a guess though.

im always hot, but then again im always eating... i snack/graze more than actually eat full meals, unless i know im going to be going somewhere nice to eat then i save the grazing for that meal lol and i always get cold until i have eaten that meal then i am hot again. so meh maybe

If you get hot enough to sweat, especially on the head or face, it could be Gustatory sweating.

If you are just warming up it is probably the thermogenic response to eating. Digestion causes chemical reactions that can raise the body’s temperature a couple of degrees.

I ate Chicken and Rice for dinner tonight and I could feel my temperature rise a bit. Although it isn’t really a big deal anytime the body generates heat it has to use calories to do it. I get a mental boost by convincing myself it is getting me closer to my goals! I am eating my way to being shredded! 😂
