People who suffer from anorexia tend to weigh less than the average person and often have significantly lower body fat percentages. This - along with a lack of proper vitamins and minerals - can lead to a person with anorexia feeling cold, often when others are not. Fat and skin and muscle are the key factors that keep people warm. They are like a layer of insulation around our warm core and organs. Without this protective layer, the body must work harder to maintain a proper body temperature. This is very difficult, so the core temperature often drops a few degrees, making the person feel cold.
