Hi, I'm 6' and 147 lbs. I run 95 mpw and am always craving junk food. Ill eat good for a few days and then eat a whole half gallon of ice cream, no kidding. I want to get down to around 140 for when I start racing. Any tips on how to create a caloric deficit while running high miles and not have huge cravings for junk food? any tips will be appreciated. thanks
maybe if you indulge your desires before they become cravings, you won't go on a rampage. The fact that you crave high-fat foods probably means that you need more fat in your diet, fat being important for retaining endurance and aiding recovery. For instance, it may be better to eat a few scoops of ice cream several times a week, when it can be metabolized regularly, rather than gorging all at once so that is stored in bodyfat. Also, if you actually do have problems with excess blubber, a good way to lose fat is to drink a little bit of apple cider vinegar (watered down, of course) before meals. I don't know why, but it really does work.
Cold Apple Cider Vinegar makes an awesome after shave toner for your face. It is anti-bacterial and anti-fungal and will restore the proper ph level of your skin leaving it incredibly soft....It also is great for the underarms and groin and other sweaty smelly areas.
uh your caloric defecit is created by running a lot...hence you will want foods that arent very filling but also have calories...ive been craving coke non stop since i started training for my marathon simply because my appetite is usually too shot to eat the amounts of food needed to maintain caloric balance.
I eat a small serving of french fries or hashbrowns with every meal and do not eat any simple sugars unless it is right before or after a workout. This seems to totally help my cravings for junk and also I no longer have sugar highs and lows.
i don't know, but i have the same problem...it's tough,
Count calories and try eating 5 smaller meals rather than 2 or 3 large ones during the day.
I really don't think that you're craving Coke because you need calories. Maybe you just really like it, but I doubt your body is asking for Coke. Maybe it would prefer juice or milk.
And for the original poster, it's all about will power. You eat what you decide to eat.
Slow down your easy runs to fat burning mode.
Did I miss something? The guy is 6' tall and weighs 147! Eat all the junk you want - you are running it off. The junk is fueling your mileage. 6' tall and 140? That is pretty damn skinny. I mean, do you have any bodyfat as it is?
6' - 147....and you are trying to lose 7 lbs? Are you trying out for a Sally Struthers commercial?
I agree with the post that if you are craving fat you probably need some, but just don't overdue it.
Actually, I always have a better workout when I eat a high fat lunch. I don't think it is by chance because I have done it numerous times.
