I am a former football player, power lifter, who has put on 150+ lbs since I graduated High School 10 years ago.
I had just joined 24 hour fitness to undo my 10 year repeat of the freshman 15. I did so because they have a pool and I'm hoping that can turn swimming into a hobby that will help me do so. Now, I've been doing some reading on the internet and from what I've been reading, it appears as if some put on body fat??????????
I need your thoughts por favor.
Not if you plan to do early morning workouts. Unless you want to see 25% of your daily caloric intake in the pool gutter, on the side of the running trail, or in a gym restroom.
I usually don't eat anything prior to morning workouts. I do drink plenty of water, from as soon as I get up, up to when I get in the pool (or out for a run), and have a water bottle on the pool deck. Just the thought of eating before workout is enough to get my stomach churning, and not in a good way.
You still have to have SOMETHING for your body to burn. Your body is going 6-8 hours without any caloric input. Then you're gonna get up and burn more calories creating an even greater deficit that your body will perceive as starvation. Then when you do eat, your body will remember that starvation and store food as fat.
So for someone who wants to lose such a significant amount of weight, skipping breakfast is NOT AN OPTION. Doing so will seriously impair one's ability to a) lose the weight and b) keep the weight off.
