Guest guest Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 Hi, with more than a hundred posts the other day I might have missed this. You are training for a marathon right? Real training. Did they modify your diet? More carbs? Maybe that is your weight gain? Or possibly just the fact that you are " bulking up " in preparation for the event can cause weight gain. My son wrestles in high school, they watch their weight like crazy, and the first thing they worry about is losing weight that their muscles go away. So, thinking about that, I wonder if your spike is not overeating, but over " bulking " ? After the run, what will you do to " detox " (maybe a bad choice of words?) from the regime of training? Will the weight come off as you regain your natural pace? will it become bad weight? While talking to my son, he said that muscle weighs twice as much as fat, so even thouhg you might be the same size, you weigh more because you have replaced fat mass with muscle mass. Okay, he is no doctor, but it sounds right to me. Also an increase in appitite is normal as you burn calories running. Please let me know what you think of this theory. I pondered your worry for days and really wonder if I'm on the right track. Best of luck! Sue in Palmdale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 Hi Sue I do think part of it is from training. I am exercising more than I ever have before. Im up to 12 miles on group days and I do 5 miles twice a week, plus I just began weights. But looking at my food log I cant blame it all on that. I dont want to make excuses...I am really eating alot of carbs...the cravings may be just that....from the increased running....they do have us eat carbs after the runs. And if I look at it...the struggle began around when training did. Im trying to get back to not snacking and see if that makes a difference. Thanks for your advice!!

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 . It's good your are looking at your food logs...and that you've been keeping food logs to look at! What a great tool, and wonderful that you are using that tool. Make sure you talk to Beth about the training thing...she may have some suggestions for you!
