The only thing that works for me is strict discipline and distraction. I'm a comfort and boredom eater, which is a nasty combo. If I feel uncomfortable or just not busy enough, I'll go see what's in the kitchen. I just have to add more tasks to my day and tell myself to get the fuck over it and struggle through the urges. The first week or so sucks, but once I've been consistent for a while, it's easy to wait until my next meal. Drink a butt ton of water.
So you willpower it through the urges, right?
I tend to like chewing on shit out of boredom so I always keep pickles and baby carrots around. Super low calorie so I don't even really bother counting the calories. If you're trying to satisfy a particular craving instead of eating out of boredom like I do then that's pure willpower.
Appreciate the answer. Any other Kiwi that would like to suggest things, I'd be more than happy to read.
A lot of people will make bulk meals and either portion them out for meals over the week or freeze the leftovers to reheat later. Leaves fewer decisions to be made, and you only have to cook like twice a week or so.
there is plenty of stuff that makes very little work. a good stew takes hours of cooking, but you only have to check on it every 30 minutes.
The run to swim ratio is about 4:1. So if you're running 10k, you're going to want to swim about 2.5k (or 2500 meters since it's swimming lol) for equivalency. Swimming takes more effort and more movement too, so energy expenditure wise you're gonna get more out of active swimming. Of course you're going to have to be putting in constant effort for that 2.5k for it to be an accurate exchange.
that would take me to much time. i may have to swimm first and than run 5km. that should help with the heat.
On your way to becoming a triathlon-er
never, i realy dont like riding bicycles fast.
Good work. Wanted to say to be sure to watch your carbs with PCOS. It's linked with insulin resistance, so the cheat pizza is okay sometimes, but focusing on lower GI foods even for cheats and snacking makes a huge difference. It's very easy to hit a wall right as you near the healthy BMI range if you're eating too many carbs unknowingly and it makes it harder to lose tummy fat even if you're doing everything you're supposed to like watching your daily calories or working out regularly.
It's not about the calories, it's about the mental effort. Too much. I eat food that makes me happy and fills me. Math can suck my baaaaalls. I don't want the act of eating to be a next source of depression.
