Does anyone find that they naturally want to eat less in this gross weather? It probably got up to 100 degrees today, which is very rare for Indiana.

I feel absolutely stuffed, like I pigged out. I added up all my calories for the day, and it says I ate around 1000. Either I forgot to log something, or I really just didn't eat much today. I felt like I ate a gross amount of food, but then I tracked it and it was very little compared to what I had been eating before this monster heat wave.

    I know the feeling! All I want on hot days is cereal and fruit. I was walking around a huge art fair today and the smell of all the fried things was making me ill.

    Definitely, the hotter it gets the less I want to eat. I rather eat fruits or drink extra water but even that makes me feel weighted down!

    Wow, I feel like I'm the opposite. The heat and humidity make my workouts seem 100x harder and I want to eat a TON more when I'm done.

    yes, it's easier to eat light plus I don't feel like cooking a lot. cold winters are tough for me cause I love to sit home in front of the fireplace with home made tollhouse cookies and wash em down with Bailey's & coffee ... I know, I'm going to hell ~
    THIS winter when I feel like that, I'm going up to the fitness room and I'm counting on everyone here for support to PUSH ME OUT THAT DOOR ~

    I know I have been wanting nothing but fruit... which reminds me I forgot to put something in my food diary.

    I'm in Indiana too!! I just checked and at 10 pm the heat index is still 108!! I am in Kokomo. Where are you? Its like someone knocks the wind out of you when you go outside. We are moving the next 3 days too!! Big bummer!

    I am in Indy. I am staying in air conditioning for the night. I was thinking about going outside for some exercise, but it's kind of late and I'm tired. Maybe I can get out of bed in the morning before it gets too hot and do it then.

    Same here, heat index 110 today is Wisconsin! Ugh, I think I just drank so much water I felt stuffed, didn't want to eat much at all! I sure hope it cools down soon!

    LOL!

    That's exactly what I do! My diet right now consists only of yogurt, cantaloupe, watermelon and cucumbers.

    When I think of it, I think it may be one of the ways that our bodies adjust. Like ... we're less likely to eat during the eat because we "hibernated" and ate during the winter :wink: It sounds good anyway! LOL
