Hungry During Workout? Does that mean i'm burning fat...??

[Brandee]

ok guys i read a lot on this forum and some of your guys got some great tips and information. (some of ya just need to join susan powder in the looney bin...)
anyhow i've been going to the gym for about 5 weeks now and i've lost some weight.. and my diet is pretty good. I'm 5'4 150 and i wanna get down to 125. But i don't want to Burn my Muscle(i've gained a fair amount)
So in the middle of cardio (1 hour) i start to get hunger pains. and i'm sure it's not for water. what does this
signify?? anyone with decent judgement and ed. do share. *muchos besos negros*

If your are putting yourself through a vigarous exercise regime, your body will demand at least 5 small meals a day. The meals should be seperated by three hours. Your gym time could be interfering with this pattern. Wait 1hr 1/2 after eating, go to the gym and eat when you come back.

why so much damn cardio? maybe your diet isn't all that good. you said you "gained some muscle" that you don't want to lose. so I'm assuming your not fat. Get a real lifting schedule, don't just mosey on to this and that. you said you lift a little weights every other day. that's fine. how about work out every other day and lift for 45 min and do 45-60 min of cardio following the lifting say NO more than 4 days a week.

oh and being hungry during a workout does not mean your burning fat. make sure you eat a good meal AFTER your workout, even if it is cardio or you can say goodbye to your muscle.

If you're not already doing a very high intensity during your cardio, up the intensity. The reason I think your cardio might not be intense is because from my own personal experience, I only get hungry during cardio if the cardio is moderate or low intensity. High intensity (huffing/puffing, sweating buckets, wishing it to be over) for more than like 20 minutes, seems to shut down my stomach so I feel no hunger pains at all. And it lasts for a half hour or so after the workout's done, even if I know I should feel hungry.

Best to do it in the morning if you can--you feel the "high" all day.

alrite guys...
first to valdez-- i'm kinda chubby bud. that's why i do an hour of cardio. what's wrong with an hour? If that's too much then i must be really off. umm... i eat a clean diet. i'm vegetarian. except i eat fish and egg whites. i probably eat to clean. i didn't want to get a "REAL" lifting schedule til i was down to a decent size babe.
didn't want the whole layer of fat over good muscles.
valdez... do you think doing that much lifting in sink with that much cardio will cause me to lose fat and muscle at the same time and not have that big muscle under fat??
does that make any sense.....

wynnyelle-- i do a very vigorious cardoi session. i'm definitely sweating buckets. i'm the average girl size. i'm a 12...so i'm not like fucking huge but i do a decent work out . i'm not skimping on the cardio. it all the fat middle aged women going 2.0mph on there treadmill that are skimping. i just guess i don't eat enough. but i didn't think you needed to eat the 6 meal thing until you had a "REAL" weight lifting schedule? mmm... sorry i'm so difficult guys!

listen brandee,
i know i get hungry during a workout when i am completly exhausted from lifting. i dont lift on an empty stomach either. however, if you keep doing your cardio it will pay off, and eventually you will reach your goals
but it does take time. keep lifting and stay dedicated. it is good that youu break up your cardio. have tried any areobics? that will help.

remember. "pain is temperary, pride is forever!"

Brandee : follow what I do . It MELTS fat off bro.

Morning cardio: 40mins-60mins (light-to moderate, then for the last 10 mins 30 second intervals switching from moderate to intense). Eat 1 hour after this.

Then , after my weight workout (considering it's weights day) I do 15 mins of moderate-intense cardio. After that, I eat my post workout (immediately following), and 1 hr after that, some Tuna+salad+two tbsp of olive oil.

If it is not training day, I do 45 mins of moderate intensity cardio, and eat 1 hour after that.

Look at my post (the huge one, 100+ replies). You could very well use that diet.

It is great. GOod luck brandee.

 

[Valdez]

no an hour is not too much. I thought you meant 1hr + 25 min stairs + 35 min treadmill!!! 2 hours

I think that lifting in correlation with cardio will triple the results that you are getting now. It will help you keep muscle and burn extra calories.

blood drinker's advice is good. good luck

Doesn't mean your burning fat -- it could just mean that you are HUNGRY. A good efficient diet should take care of that. Get on a good training routine and diet, be consistent, and watch your body composition change.

You're better off building muscle now and not waiting until you've dropped fat. The lean muscle mass will help your metabolism hum along, and will make buring fat a little more efficient. Lifting now will definately serve you--muscle is denser than fat, so that you can wear a smaller size, even if the numbers on the scale don't move much. Do a search or a take a look at the Women's Board for more info.

arty:

you guys are great. thanx so much for the valuable info. and to blood drinker... i'm surprised you even
wrote anything to help me. i did bitch you out in like a couple of threads. but that's cool that you didn't
trip on it.
anyhow.... i'll try some of the stuff you guys suggested.
and again Thanx!

i didn't realize i wasn't eating enough til a couple of days ago when i couldn't even finish my cardio cuz i was starving!!! but then i started writing it down and you guys are so right. *as usual*
today i ate the following:
5am-oatmeal,wheat bread with provolone,milk
10am-green apple, orange, water
and then i didn't eat for 12 hours cuz i had to
visit that little place called court and then my boifriend. but i wasn't hungry. it's hard to eat when you don't want to. so then at about 6:30pm --orange juice, soy protein shake with strawberries and kiwi and milk.
9pm--water and bread.
now this sounds like anorexia but i'm telling you i could never be that stupid or desperate. so i'm gonna try to eat all the time now. love you guys!!
hey and wish me happy b-day. june 8th is my 18th b-day. i'm officially legal or an adult...however you look at it.

[Valdez]

I'd like to freak it with a goth chick again... thanks for reminding me with all your sexual propaganda.

btw: never go more than 4-6 hours without eating. remember small portions...

 

[Brandee]

freakin with a goth chick


valdez that is truly funny..... well good luck i all
your freakin' and searching . hehe...
umm.... alright.. my friend is so stupid and he won't eat
for days and he thinks he's fat and he's probably going to get fat now because he eventually eats when the hunger consumes him. he worries me. i eat when i'm hungry though. but i'll remember the 4-6 hour rule. thanx for all the Ze info dahling...
