Would be useful Eden. Of course, the temperatures we were very cold (it is close to frostbitten face warning situation) vs. what someone living in Florida experiencing just freezing temp.
Or maybe a person' body acclimatizes over the years in northern climates, that their body would burn calories more slowly to "conserve"....similar to body adjusting to less food in general during periods of near starvation??
Nevertheless it nearly scared me on 2 separate occasions: Yesterday and last weekend I knew I couldn't cycle an extra 5 km. after a 30 km. ride in -15 degrees C weather...I desperately needed some food energy. Just a small amount of food, that's all. In the summer I wouldn't be hankering for food in this way.
