Exercise calories

popplylily

oh lady.. 6x a week? your muscles need more of a break than that! i did an excersise vid everyday in '99 and i got ME and now i can't walk! be careful with your body. you only have one! at least cut it down and give yourself a day or two inbetween... all youll do is burn lean tissue rather than as much fat.

its a neurological disease that affects your brain and therefore your body's response to exhertion. Ive had it for nine yrs, originally i couldnt walk at all and lost all my muscle, been up and down since then. It registers pain from walking, causes the muscles to swell up, and mostly makes you very weak. i was always an excersise bunny, loved outdoor sports and horse riding cliff jumping you name it. but i majorely overdid it at uni causing a virus as my immune system couldnt cope. the virus never left my system, xxx

I dont eat my workout calories, that is definatly a waste of all the hardwork and sweat that you put into your workout. Ive been doing the same thing for more than 3 years and im just fine and i dont find im sluggish or anything. Just make sure your eating the right kinda stuff to fuel your body. Goodluck.

You're missing the point. For you, not eating back your exercise calories might put you in that sweet spot, calorically speaking, that I mentioned above.

For others, that won't be the case. There isn't a universally acceptable approach here as it will depend on the person, the diet, and the exercise schedule.

In addition, there's more to exercise than calorie expenditure.

Thank you. very much. for posting this.

I read and hear a lot of people saying essentially the same thing: "Well, I don't eat my exercise calories and it hasn't affected my weight loss. Therefore, nobody should do it."

The fact is, everyone is built differently. But for most people, eating your exercise calories to get to that 'sweet spot' is the safest bet.

I really like reading your posts. I may have to start following you around the board now.
