FWIW it will be easier to lower your caloric intake to align with the lower activity that is a result of lockdown lifestyle than it will be to boost activity to try to match pre-lockdown lifestyle.
Weight control is practically entirely diet. Exercise achieves other health and lifestyle goals.
Furthermore optimizing your diet during lockdown will pay dividends once you go back to a standard level of activity post-lockdown.
Not to say you shouldn't continue daily exercise, point is if you are trying to control your weight you are focusing on the wrong "lever."
- antonzabirko 6y agoThe thing is I want to eat. Not the op.
- jeena 6y agoI had this problem too, I was able to solve it by replacing most of the carbs I ate with fat and protein. This led to stable insulin levels which led to ghrelin being only released during normal meal times which is nowadays only one for me around 11 am. Not trying to say that Omad is for everyone but the reduction of carbs was the perfect key for handling my hunger attacks.
- exabrial 6y agoI know, everything you say is absolutely spot on :( it's just so much easier to motivate myself to workout than it is to diet. I was rowing (erging) twice a day burning an extra 500-1000 calories (pretty easy to do on a rower in about an hour of rowing per day).
