Hi guys, not been on for a while, have been training for a Long distance walk which I have just finished.
Have had a stable weight for the last couple of weeks, been on the 1500 plan and was happy with my weight not moving very much.
Well on Mon, Tues & Wednesday this week I went on a Hike that was for 36.5 miles across the Quantocks & Exmoor (The Coleridge Way). I was eating the following
Monday.
Cambridge poridge with 2 bananas mixed in.
Cereal bars x 2 = 180 Calories
2 Bananas, small pack of unsalted nuts.
Plenty of water.
Evening meal was Rump Steak, Chips, peas, plus Desert (Chocolate brownie)
4 pints of lager
I burnt 5200 Calories, walked for 5 hours, 23000 steps, 9.2 miles
Tuesday
Full english (2 x Bacon, Scrambled eggs, Baked beans, 2 x Sausage, Mushrooms.) Bowl of Allbran, 3 rounds of toast with marmite. tea
Cereal bars x 2 = 180 Calories
2 Bananas, small pack of unsalted nuts.
Plenty of water.
Evening meal was Ribye Steak, Chips, peas, plus Desert (Chocolate Fudge cake, with cream)
2 pints of lager
I burnt 6500 Calories, walked for 8 hours, 45000 steps, 18 miles
Wednesday
Full english (1 x Bacon, Scrambled eggs, Baked beans, 1 x Sausage, Mushrooms.) Bowl of Allbran, 3 rounds of toast with marmite. tea
Blue Muffin, Packet of Cheese & Onion Crisps, Corned beef sandwich, apple
Cereal bars x 2 = 180 Calories
2 Bananas, small pack of unsalted nuts.
Plenty of water.
Evening meal was Smart price Stirfry(Dry Fryed with 4 pieces of Mackeral and a blue dragon sauce.
I burnt 5300 Calories, walked for 5 hours, 23500 steps, 9.5 miles
now back on 1500 cal diet.
Poridge in morning with 2 bananas
Green salad with dressing.
and evening meal either jacket pots with protein or stirfry as I was before walk.
The problem is Ive put on 5lbs. Know I thought that all the walking I was doing would outweigh the calories I was eating by a lot. and I dont think that I went over the top on the munchies.
My question really is. does this normally happen when you do something which requires you up your calories to sustain the level of activity you are doing causes you to put weight on. and will it go back to normal.
I dont want to go back to SS but having been on VLCD for over a year I keep getting these blips that set me back and leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth so to speak. any advice would be great
