JUDDERing and exercise?

[PurpleButterfly]

Hi all I have a question. I was supposed to be DD today. I ate about 1000cals ish. But then, I went to gym and exercised about 850cals. What's the deal? If you exercise, on DD's are you supposed to still eat 500cals?

Short answer: Yes.
The amount of food intake in a down day is not relevant
to the amount of exercise one does during a down day.

BTW, my personal success comes from the position that:
Exercise is for Fitness;
Nutrition is for Health;
Low-Calorie eating is for Weight-Loss.
Each of these 3 should be treated as totally separate and independent issues.

Hi,

If you visit Dr Johnson's website it has a calculator for you to work out your down day calories on there, and you do get asked if you exercise and you do get a higher calorie allowance. The UpDayDownDay Diet™ and eResveratrol – Dr. James Johnson – SIRT1 Gene Activation

Sanghi.

PS the calculator is on the how to do the diet page, just scroll down

When I first started I only used to exercise on up days, but now I'll do a class or have a swim (even a bit of cv gym work) on a dd without altering my cal allowance and I always feel fine. I think doing too much on a dd wouldn't be wise, and if your body starts telling you to stop then do so. But as long as you feel ok then why not? I actually never feel hungry after exercise so doing it on a dd is a great idea lol!

Hey Brightangel, you should put that sayin in your signature! LOVE IT!!!!

It is sooo true!!!

When I exercise, I don't really lose weight.....The exercise is because it helps me feel good, and its good for my heart and lungs......

I watch what I eat and try to get my nutrition because its good for my body....

And to lose the weight, ONLY low calorie works for me!

There is just sooo much truth to that!
