The answer is Fats.
The adipose tissue, the tissue in which fats are stored, are said to be good thermal insulators.
In fact, marine mammals, such as whales have what's called a blubber - which is basically a thick fat layer under the skin. This helps them control their body temperature.
I hope that helps you :)

The constituents of food that act as good thermal insulators are fats.
EXPLANATION:
The fats are stored in the 'adipose tissues'. These tissues are considered to be good thermal insulators. Fats help to keep the body temperature on a higher side and prevent the body from losing heat.
This is one of the reasons why people eat more fats in winters. There are many marine mammals like whale which has a layer of 'fat' under its belly which keeps their bodies 'warm'.
