Walking and moderate intensity cardio. For weights, if you want to life heavier, just make your own rotation with 1 or 2 sets of 8-10 reps and work at a moderate to slow pace. I find that I get hungrier with heavy weights if I am doing too many reps and too many exercises. My weight workouts are about 15 minutes for heavy weights and about 20-25 when I do lighter/endurance weights workouts. I am stronger doing this than I ever was doing long workouts or doing regular intense workouts. Instead, I sprinkle in more intense and high impact moves in my daily workouts. So I may do 1 or 2 high impact, high intensity exercises but the rest are low impact and moderate. Sometimes, I only do moderate, low impact exercises. I am a broken record but I use a lot of Pahla Bowers (youtube) and Tone It Up workouts because they are short and effective with my cardio (I like walking and jogging/running)
I guess this was a long winded way to say that exercising moderately is what has worked best for keeping me fit and not affecting my appetite. |

I learned that I am a creature of habit. I always stop at ____ for ____ when I ______. Sometimes I am not really in the mood for _____ but I eat it out of habit. Also, I found by delaying gratification, the craving for ___ would pass. I act like a petulant teenager sometimes and hate being told I can't eat____. So I tell myself "you can have ____, but later" This works well for me. Not every time but enough. It takes practice. This was a very expensive program and frankly some of the lessons and habits were silly but some of that was me being a petulant teenager. There are apps like Noom that have coaching that are less expensive but I do not have experience with them. Noom has a free 14 day trial if you are interested. You mentioned meditation. If you download the Insight Timer app there are so many free meditations, several that address overeating. Hugh Byrne has a talk on there about mindful habit change and a 10 day course (which you have to pay for) about changing unwanted habits. I also recommend his book "The Here and Now Habit" which covers the same information. |

I just wanted to suggest that if you are going to try yoga, to be sure to include the savasanna (sp?). I used to take gentle yoga classes a couple times a week, and found that the relaxation/meditation at the end really helped me to find control over food cravings. It's so easy at home with dvd's to skip that part of the workout, but when I was in the classroom, you couldn't just walk out, and I learned how important that part of class was...and it made such a difference.
Good luck! |
