I swam for years and always kept in great shape.
I quit for 2 years. After turning 41, which was 7 months ago, I started back up again. I swim 5 days a week for an hour, mostly freestyle. I'm in great shape again everywhere except for this stomach fat I can't seem to lose. Can anyone recommend any good workouts that can get rid of this?
Busted! :) I am a doctor, but not of medicine (or anything related to sports medicine).
So let me say that the information comes from someone who is an amateur, but has read a lot of health and fitness articles, and has tried some of the ideas.
So... for (1) I'm taking that one on faith. I think it is a natural continuation of the idea that, if you ride a roller coaster or get car sick, it is the stress from the motion/vibrations that cause you to lose your appetite. I was just reading (3) in TI, I think, about the appetite/body temperature thing. (4) is actually two parts. The first has to do with *some* overweight people who do not hydrate. Their bodies send thirst signals, but the people are mis-interpreting the signal as hunger. Eating is making them thirstier, and they wonder why they still feel *hungry*. Second, when I still hear people asking if you sweat while you are swimming, I don't doubt that not enough people hydrate while doing a swim workout. If you do not notice that you are sweating buckets, you may not pay as much attention to the water fountain.
Did you have conflicting ideas/research? I would be very interested if you do. (This is not a challenge, but a plea for help. :) ) If you are just checking how much of this is hearsay/opinion, versus real research, I can try to find the articles I was looking at.
