Why would you want to "take something"? Put on a sweater! And yes, it's probably due to reduction in bodyfat.

Less bodyfat, lower thyroid output, and depending on your climate, it's winter.

Are you refeeding periodically to help boost your thyroid and leptin?

lol, I lost about a 100 pounds of body fat since last summer-meaning that I've never been this thin and faced winter. Needless to say, those michigan winters are horrible

I've lost about 50-60 pounds of bodyfat in the last couple of years, and you definitely get cold more often at lower (normal)bodyfat levels. my hands and feet used to always be warm in the winter, now they're always cold.

It's also worse when you're dieting, I guess that's the thyroid or whatever (even with refeeds). or maybe less digestion-caused thermogenesis, I don't know.
