Having been exercising / training pretty much every day for the last 8 or 9 months, I decided it was time I took a proper rest. Not done anything remotely physical for the last week (except a couple of walks) and I've lost about 5 lb.
What's that all about?
Change in diet?
I have not cycled for the last 3 weeks due to the weather and a nasty cold and my weight has stayed the same as it was when I was cycling regularly.
😯
you're muscles are wasting away!!!!
😥
Nah, not really. Eaten slightly less as playing xbox doesn't seem to make me as hungry as exercise does. If I've eaten less of anything it would be fruit.
5lb in a week is a lot though.
Most dieters would be very jealous of you!
😯 Phil! This morning I was the lightest I've been since I was a teenager!
5lb in a week is a lot though.
Really? I can crap out 3lbs in one go nae probs!
Zed! Genius! I might be able to hit 11 1/2 stone. Last seen aged 15...
Spending a year with Somali pirates seems to induce weight loss.
I lost over a stone on my last 6 week trip to India!
Delhi belly.
ooooooh! it wasn't pretty....
What's the diet that the dude off of 'Into the wild' was on?
{edit} damn you, now my thread has turned into a farce {edit}
Quick, write a book called "the lazy way to diet"
Fatties will have it whizzing off the shelves like there's no tomorrow.
I'd buy a copy too!
Look up an Aussie called Jeff Jowett (sp?) - part of his weight theories are that vigorous exercise is counter-productive to weight loss. Gentle prolonged movement is the key in the short term .
Tapeworm ??
Exercise does increase appetite but you shouldn't lose that much when you stop, normally it takes a while for appetite to drop. I'd be in the docs if it continues mate.
Metabolism still ticking well OP.
Takes about 2 weeks without exercise until slowing down can be measured such as enzyme activity.
Frankenstein I prefer your theory to the tapeworm one above.
Was possibly a little de-hydrated this morning, but have stepped up eating and drinking today in preperation for getting back into training tomorrow.
