I started reverse dieting with my nutritionist about 6 mos ago. I started at 1760 and am now at 2000. It is fantastic. I am a little freakish about scale numbers so I choose not to weigh too often. My size has stayed the same but my composition has definitely improved and I have gotten a lot stronger.

Enduring a little pain and developing callouses worked best for me.

I went with the Life Fitness IC7 and use the Peloton App and Les Mills on demand. I used to teach Sprint but I Love Matt Wilpers Power Zone Peloton longer rides too. My bike is solid and cost $2700. You could also put an outdoor bike on a trainer. When I was shopping for my bike I popped into different gyms and tried a…

Chaco’s and Birks

I enter my food and then return later to enter another meal and some of my previous entries have disappeared.

I agree, I tried it for a month and have decided it isn’t for me. Thanks for your info.

Thank you. I think my calories went down and I am working out less, more strength less cardio. I do feel good. I am happy.

What do you mean when you say appetite correction? Is that a real thing because that sounds exactly like what is happening. This is so crazy. I used to workout 6 days a week for 2-4 hours a day eating next to nothing. My new coach has me eating full fat dairy and really nutritious healthy foods. I am even getting off Coke…

I think I might like that better. I put collagen in my coffee I can’t give up my coffee. I have only been at this for three days now. Did you notice any changes with your appetite?

I think because I work out in the AM.

I used to eat back some exercise calories but have just switched up to eating 1700 cal per day regardless of a heavy exercise day or a day off. Seems to be working for me.

Well that puts a new spin on it. Thank you. I have allowed myself to get in a funk over this and have been hard on myself since Sunday. I think you just turned this around for me.

I take an active rest day by going for a hike and one complete day off and work out regularly the other 5 days.

I LOVE the Flamin Hot. 2.5 cu for 160 cals is a bargain and very good too!

Thanks everyone. Yes, my bike and phone talk to each other. I also use the icg app that comes with the bike/software. I am just, not varsity so using the one measure of power should be adequate.

How much are the Vectors? I heard they were pricey! Thank you.

Check out Athleta, they have many options that go from work to work out in a flash. They are made with technical fabric just in case you do break a sweat!

Really informative articles. I liked them best because they validated my symptoms and I am not crazy after all.

You are so kind! Thank you. Yesterday I did my first hour + ride, I feel pretty good. Today is a day off so if I get a headache and other symptoms, I’ll know I over did it and will dial it back again.

Quest Hero chocolate, caramel and pecan.

I am coming back from COVID. I didn’t work out for 33 days and while my muscles deflated a bit, they are coming back quickly.

Yes! That is exactly what it is. It is getting better week by week. Last Monday I rode for an hour and was on the couch aaaaaalllllllllllllll day Tuesday asleep. I dialed the exercise back again. It is weird because some days I feel great and think it is over and go for a regular workout and quickly realize the Corona is…

Thanks so much! I got my retest results today and they are negative! I still feel bad. I walked 2 mi today Nd it’s felt better than doing nothing. My taste isn’t gone but definitely off or diminished. I have been eating weird food for meals like bananas w peanut butter, cottage cheese but not so much real meals. It really…

Wow! I am glad to know I am not the only one. I have gained a little weight and I hate that feeling. Ugh. I am going to go for a walk today and do what I can. I have tried to work out with Covid and it seems to set my recovery back. I still can’t imagine doing HIIT or riding the spin bike but I can walk. I have been doing…

I know everyone is different in their recovery time but how long have you been down for?

Thanks all. It has been a month since I have worked out. When I am honest with myself, I know it isn’t time to go back to working out. AliNouveau is right, I am gaining a little weight and that is messing with my head.

Drmwc, the second bullet from the bottom is what I needed, thank you.

I use the App for cycle. I LOVE Matt Wilpers Power Zone Endurance Rides.

I really like my Osprey. I love the pockets on the waist belt, the exterior pocket that I dedicate for snacks, the hydro pack is a must for me. I keep my poles in one of the side water bottle pockets and a bottle of electrolytes for long hikes. Osprey was recommended to me by fellow hikers, I am really pleased with the two…

It is weird that I am craving protein and whole grains. I am not tracking right now just eating well. I am finding that I feel nauseous so I eat something and it goes away. For the time being, I am not going to worry about things like having a banana with peanut butter if I am hungry. MFP says to maintain I need 1960 so…
