Why do I overheat so easily?
I overheat very easily, in fact when most people around me are complaining of being freezing I am usually at my most comfortable. That in itself doesn’t bother me too much, except when it comes to even mild exercise I have to stop very early; not because I am out of breath, but because I am too hot. It effects me very badly, I now rarely do any exercise as I cannot do any for sustained periods (10 minutes of jogging, or even a brisk walk and I can feel my face burning).
I am not particularly overweight, I could stand to lose a stone or two, but that weight is mostly because having been unable to effectively exercise, I have gradually put on weight.
Due to the fact that I am also constantly tired, and have insomnia I have had blood tests to rule out just about everything that would cause excessive tiredness, including thyroid problems, so I do not believe that this is the problem.
If anyone has any ideas as to what might cause something like this, I would appreciate it.

Perhaps your body temperature is too high and you have some hyperthermia problems. Such problems are sometimes (but not very often) side effects from prescription medication.

Running vs Weight training for weight loss?
I am a 27 year old male, 5’10” and weigh 295lbs. I have lost and gained large amounts of weight in my life thus far, and am gearing up for another big weight loss push. Ironically, I don’t like weight lifting and have always prefered running. You wouldn’t think for a guy my size, but I’ve always like it. Monday, I started running again, and I was able to run a 10 minute mile before having to walk and rest. I know 10 minutes is not a great time for a mile, but hey, you don’t weigh 295lbs. This morning was my 3rd morning running 1 mile, and then walk / jog about another mile after that, and I felt very week this time. My legs my back, everything. Mind you, I’m not saying that I was sore, because I understand the difference. My legs and low back were just very fatigued. What I’m worried about is, I don’t want to push my body to breaking down muscle, so I’m making sure to not eliminate carbs from my diet, but not go overboard either as to facilitate fat loss. An open ended question like this makes for 2 page answers, so let me tell you already what I understand about the body and fat burning. I understand that the best way to burn fat is to build a more muscular body that naturally burns more calories at rest, and that cardio does not do this. Also, I understand that cardio does not burn fat while in the act, because it needs a faster source of energy, that being carbs which are easily turned into glucose. Running is the only thing that I enjoy and would be able to stick with long term. So I need to leverage that to help with the weight loss. What I need is practical advice to apply my love of running most effectively towards the goal of burning fat. I would expect that diet would be a integral part of this undertaking.
So what diet would you recommend, (carbs to protein ratio) etc..
What workout schedule should I use here in the beginning?
What workout schedule should I use 3-6 months down the road?
Should I work to improve my the time of my mile, or just focus on lengthening distance without walking?

Watchfully analyze the calorie suggestions of any diet program earlier than you start it. You will almost certainly find out that 95% of diet programs have you cut your calories to “starvation” degrees. Extremely low calorie diets will have an effect on weight loss at the start, unfortunately not for long.
The human body always automatically strives to sustain an outstanding condition of balance: metabolism, body temperature, blood sugar, hormone levels, acid-alkaline balance and each additional system in the body, are all normalized within a narrow range that your body gets secure and comfortable.
As we know that the human body is very intelligent, it has abilities to constantly maintain all of these balances automatically even when we sleep.
Whenever you make a radical action with intention to formulate immediate change such as very fast weight loss, your metabolism in cybernetic regulate it to maintain stability in energy balance, very similar system as a thermostat maintains the temperature of your home in a desirable range.
Whenever you are at risk of starving, naturally your body immediately responses this condition, it is well-known as “the starvation response”. In this circumstance your body will suddenly regulate your metabolic rate downward similar to a thermostat, which means you burn fewer calories.
Extremely low calories diets can basically make you fatter. It is physiologically impracticable to achieve ‘permanent’ fat loss and lean body by starving yourself.
The only way to achieve permanent fat loss and retain it forever is to decrease your calories faintly and increase your activity greatly. It is always much more improved burn the fat than attempt to starve the fat on behalf of successfully lose your fat permanently.
Richard asks…
How can me and my Ex Effectively cut ourselves off from one another?
We broke up b/c I felt restrained in the relationship, he didnt like me going to the bar, drinking, or spending alot of time with my friends, I finally got sick of it and now he says I tricked him into beleiving I would convert to his religion, and how I made him give up evrythng and now im abandoning him. Were friends now, well trying to be friends.He has ALOT of issues but i was tired of helping him with minimal progress. Long story short we both tried to control each other and drove each other insane. One thing with me is i keep whitholding things from him because of his temper, and his ability to become easily upset! He gets upset so easy so i try not to tell him something or i put it off and he calles me a liar. I ve ” lied” so many times because im afriad of his temper, now im a liar and i cant keep letting him down but the only way i know how to console him is thru love and i keep surrendering my power to him giving in when hes upset because i feel like he needs me or something. I want o be his friend, but him remain mentally stable, and me too. We both keep freaking out and i cant handle the stress anymore. I feel sorry for him cause he lost so much weight and muslce cause he stopped going to the gym, stopping hanging with his friends, he lost me, i feel like he is depressed, and his family life is so terrible. How can i help him get over me, and help him be happy, but at the same time live my life without feeling like im walking on eggshells.

Stop being at his beck and call, don’t answer him at all and don’t contact him. He has a controlling influence over you, so just drop all contact with him altogether.
