Stoke the furnace.

There are two problems with that idea: I still have to go outside, and raising the thermostat exceeds my budget for heat on a fixed or limited income.

I meant your body's furnace.

It's not my body's furnace or metabolism, it's how the cold weather affects my body.  To turn up my body's furnace I would have to exercise, and that makes me hungry too, so that wouldn't be much help either.  I think my body feels the cold is telling it to eat more and build up fat to insulate itself, because fat/blubber is a good insulator.
