[b]Socks go down better with Ketchup[/b]

Athletes who are conditioned will begin sweating earlier and more profusely than non-conditioned people. I don't know any foods you can eat to slow down sweating, but drinking coffee always makes me run hotter.

The average woman is about 25% to 30% body fat, while a typical man is about 15%. Someone your build is probably less than 10% fat.  Muscle is denser than fat, so muscle holds heat better than fat. For example, heat a cup of water (dense) and an equal sized piece of bread (less dense) in the microwave for one minute. In five minutes, the bread will be at room temperature and the water will still be hot. That's one reason why women run cooler than men on average.

Even though obese people have a high percentage of body fat, they sweat alot because their core is so well insulated. A woman has more body fat, but her smaller body size doesn't allow her to hold heat very well.

Just like cooling fins on a 1978 YZ 400, your skin is responsible for regulating body temp. Women have greater surface area relative to their lower body density, increasing their ability to stay cool.
