Last winter, when I was in France by temperatures around -13 degree C
(10 degree F), I didn't feel colder than when I used cooked food,
but the greateset problem I had was to have a sufficiently varied diet.
The only thing which saved me from boredom was to use a variety of
sprouts (such as mung beans, kamut, lentils...) and rotate between them.

All foods rich in fat (nuts, sunflower seeds, avocados, coconut) and
foods rich in protein (seeds, animal food...) help to increase the
body temperature.

But I found that eating acid pineapples or acid oranges made me literally
shiver. Of course, do not eliminate juicy fruits completely, but be
moderate.

Best wishes,
