yes and no Talya. While its true that your body bleeds off heat at temperatures lower than 98 degrees (and still radiates heat away above that), its still fighting a losing battle against the heat your body generates beyond a certain point, (more if you're excersizing or otherwise burning energy). Those of us with high metabolisms reach that point faster than most. I'm FAR more comfortable between 50 and 70 degrees than 80-90
minor asside: given that you need 4000 calories per day to maintain body mass in artic climbs, why don't people go there to lose weight?
I like the high metabolism reference; by the time my wife is warm, I'm usually sweating up a storm.
