I have never been this fit and at the same time so sick. Been on FS for a while and never had the results I wanted.
This time is different. I've learned some things, I knew the theory before but I'm experiencing it now.
- Watch your BMR (base metabolic rate): you cannot excerise hard and expect to be fueled if you do not consume enough. For my age and gender I NEED at least 1900 Cals per day (if i just breathe and stay alive). If I starve myself and keep on overeating on snacks later and I gain weight while I feel I am hungry all the time
- Training is not enough: I find we grossly underestimate the amount we eat vs the grossly overestimate the effect of excerise. I am training hard for cycling races doing hours and hours of riding. That made little difference when I looked at the crap I was eating, starving myself and snacking on 'treats' to reward a single ride or activity. Exercise is very very important but I learned you cannot outtrain a bad diet.
- Don't be afraid to fuel your body enough: it's more about what you eat and less about how much. I tried to restrict (and of course I still do), but my portions were too small. It did not fuel me and with training it lead to snacking. When you eat, eat! I now do three 800cal meals a day and try and stick to 2400-2500. This combined with food that fuels (good proteins etc) fuels me and keeps hunger at bay for longer.
I'm still learning will keep on trying to be disciplined here. Appreciate this community and the positive people.
Salute to you all. Don't starve your body, exercise hard, eat well, build positive habits.
Discipline is keeping the promises you made to yourself.
