[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve been in this boat, OP. When I under eat relative to my needs, my metabolism slows way, way down. I may still be exercising the same amount of time, but the same level of effort isn’t there and I move less throughout the day. I feel like my body is under stress and exhausted - it’s like even my brain is cutting back. I hold onto water because I crave carbs.

It can become a viscous cycle if you cut calories further to try to stop gaining.

Try eating what the tracker advises for a few weeks and see how you feel and how it impacts your workouts and weight gain. I’d recommend some nuts and avocado or full fat dairy. [/quote]

OP here. Thanks - this is exactly what I’m going to do.

I recently picked up an old book on the Thrive Diet, and it’s fairly interesting. I’m not going to adopt a raw vegan diet, but a lot of what he preaches on nutritional stress and how what we eat makes a huge difference in how our body responds to stress really resonates. [/quote]
