Wow, I couldn't tell ya. lol I had never thought of it before. The longest I've ever fasted was 72 hours, but I never got cold. Then again, I made a point of doing light exercise during that time to keep myself going.

No, fasting should not reduce blood circulation. Was it cold outside, or had you just handled something cold?

From my experience, there are many variables possibly involved in poor circulation/cold hands... If it happens again, then you are establishing a pattern. If not, then the relationship appears insignificant.

I fast several times per year, and yes, I often feel colder at times during this process.
No, fasting does not inhibit circulation -- unless the body is attempting to clear arteries of unwanted materials (i.e., cholesterol, fatty deposits) or is trying to repair them. In such cases, in may shut them down (or reduce the flow) temporarily.
The reason you feel colder is because your body is not burning food calories. Besides fuel, another role of calories includes producing warmth.
Hope that helps
