Appetite

Anyone experienced similar to me? I went on a very low carb, adequate protein (around 100g per day) and high fat diet almost twelve months ago. Didn’t really exercise until beginning C25K two weeks ago. Here’s the point. I’ve found now I’m eating less. The exercise has taken my appetite away. I was already 16/8 intermittent fasting. And I’m finding that on many days, I’m only consuming two meals and no snacks. Maybe it’s because my system is used to burning fat now. So when I’m exercising, I’m burning those fat reserves and not Glucose. It seems to fit with what I’ve found in my research over the last year.

Anyway, it’s brilliant. Lost 3.5 lbs in weight this last week. I had plateaued for some months.

I tried a low carb diet several months ago and it didn’t agree with me, I’m not sure any sort of diet agrees with me if I’m being completely honest though, I’ve been terrible during furlough, getting back to work next week will be a saviour 😂
