Overeating DUE to running

Don’t eat back your run.

I see those fat marathon runners. I dont want to be one of those.

After running, I get super hungry. I need to control that.

You need to get more protein and nutrition density. Convince the brain its fine to not eat so much.

And CRITICALLY, avoid calorie dense food – and fucking booze. Booze is SUGAR. It’s FRUCTOSE.

You are fucking your liver up, and causing yourself to be fat. WHy the fuck do you want to negate what you have done?

In 2023 – we saw the effects. Very bad weight loss metrics. This year, I cannot let that happen.

So, don’t negate the work of the run.

Running it not the silver bullet. But it is a keystone habit. It will help focus everything.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Last year when I was training for my first, my appetite became voracious and I saw no problem indulging because I was running 30mpw and still expected to lost weight – never seen a fat guy finish a marathon right? Wrong….I gained fifteen pounds lol

This year I’m training again, counting calories, and so far shedding pounds. You definitely cannot outrun your poor eating habit

I didnt start to loose any significant weight till I paid attention to my diet even when averaging 10k a day.

My body composition definitely changed some but weight didnt seriously drop till my diet became focused on competition.
