Exercise and hunger

Lounge
1

I have been exercising like crazy for a while now, starting to feel fatigue but I still try to exercise.
Today I have eaten 200g oatmeal with almonds and cocos, 4 pieces of bread with mackerel in tomatosauce, 100g pasta with 300g lean pork and 1litre of no fat chokolate milk it’s 19:29 where I live and I was still hungry like a cow a hour ago and so I ordered a 40cm pizza with bacon and pepperoni double pepperoni and bacon now I have 1 piece left.
In a way the amount doesn’t bother me but this kind of eating habit is expensive as hell. Sometimes healthy food doesnt satisfy me so I go on a crazy cake, ice cream or pizza binge.

Hiit training usally reduce my cravings but long cardio sessions makes me so hungry.

I have been trying to get to the point where im like " fu*k the binges and the unhealthy food, now im going to take care of myself 100%". I have the thought but not the strenght yet.

any tips ? =]

Have a cheat day. If you have a day where you know you can cheat it helps. Just keep the portions down to a normal serving. Eat slowly to savor. This is what I did during my gym days and soon I wasn’t even craving a cheat day.

Carefull with fatigue.Get good sleep and don’t overtrain. Rest of 1 or 2 days a week is important. Injuries can arise because lack of rest.

Eating slowly is good tip

I do want the benefits from exercise everyday, what can I do on resting days that equals exercise?

I am a very fast eater so eating slow will be difficult. Food tastes so much better when I take a mouthful and eat fast, I don’t know why.

I think there’s no benefit training everyday. Everybody should rest at least one day a week. If pain joint arise you should stop until it passes way.

I will try 3 days on then 1 day break then back to 3 days etc. to see how that works out. I did get some knee strain when biking but I think that was from having my saddle to low. I can’t run outside anymore, I get this sharp pain a little bit to the left of my upper thigh and my right knee is not 100%. Running on treadmill doesn’t cause any problems though.

I trained like mad for 2 and a half weeks straight and ended up with a groin strain. I have been out for 3 weeks recovery now. i exercised today 10km but still had a little sharp pain on my inner upper thigh. If you don’t rest you could be out for weeks, like I am.

Rest days are so important for your muscles to repair properly.

I hear you. It’s hella fun when you are in that zone and exercise like it’s the only thing that matters, but im going to try to take a break.
I think ive heard something along the line that when people get a strain or something they find it difficult to get back to exercise so it’s a good sign that you took a ride today.

If you like the zone, then it’s not too difficult to get back in the saddle. It’s a weird thing, loving and hating the exercise at once, but I have a few days yet before i can get back to it.

I also cold stretched my muscles, not knowing until today that it was a bad thing, which didn’t do me any good.
