Let’s Talk About It
Eat for the energy that you will be using afterward and to replenish the nutrients depleted earlier.
my biggest take away is that under eating can cause you to gain weight.
The concept of Proactive Eating was very informative. I also was not aware that your body won’t lose weight even if you starve yourself.
What I got from this presentation was to plan and fuel the body according to upcoming activities and to eat every 3 hours.
I want to work on the proactive eating and only fueling for the activities in the next three hours. I wish that the presentation showed more on how to balance your meals and sugars.
Thanks!
I enjoyed learning about proactive eating. I typically don’t like to eat before exercising because I feel bogged down but those feelings should be minimized if I choose appropriate food.
Smaller meals and fueling your body for what’s ahead is best.
I didn’t realize that you don’t lose weight when you starve yourself and that fat is necessary to protect organs and hormones.
Know your BMR so you know the calories that you need to:
stay the same weight
lose weight
gain weight
Eat every three hours & plan food intake based on your upcoming activities
Definitely enjoyed this presentation. Everything he explained was very clear and simple to understand, which I appreciate. There are two things that I will work on from this, getting my BMR and making sure I pair protein with carbs better. The information David shared may be the most help helpful i have heard on the subject if nutrition.
Thanks.
I’m sorry I missed this presentation. My biggest takeaway was -don’t diet. Eat frequently balance your meals and sugars. I didn’t realize you’re burning sugars while lifting weight. Then, fuel for your activity level. Eating the big pasta dish before your hike then eating the salad afterward- that made a lot of sense to me but oddly never really put much thought into what foods do I need to eat to fuel my upcoming activities. Good stuff!
I did not realize how important it is to eat the correct foods prior to physical activity. Nice information to improve your physical activity.
I never thought to figure out what my BMR was and to adapt my calorie intake each day accordingly. There was a lot of good info presented here. Thanks!
