Hey everyone, looking for some perspective from people who have navigated the final stretch of a massive weight-loss phase.
Over the last 15 months, I’ve dropped from 315 lbs down to 170 lbs (mid-20s, M, 6'1"). At my lowest I weighed around 165 lbs but have recently gained a couple lbs back. My ultimate goal is to get into a lean muscular range. I have been going to the gym and lifting about 4 times a week for about six months now. Recently, I started adding some running into the mix and I have been really enjoying exercise. I am now aiming for about 2500-2700 calories a day, but this is where things have been difficult over the past month:
Today, the "day-after" running hunger hit me hard and I ended up eating about 4000 calories. Logically, I know my body is probably recovering from a workout and run yesterday, but mentally, I am struggling a bit.
My immediate instinct is to go back to my strategy of weight loss and cut down my calories. To make things more frustrating, I realized that despite transforming my body so far, my actual eating habits seemingly have not changed. This past month especially, I realized I still eat incredibly fast and totally mindlessly, just like I did when I weighed my highest.
Has anyone else experienced these hunger spikes right as they approach their final goal weight? And does anyone have tips on how to really change
