I think sometimes that HIIT gets a lot of love because it's quick and supposedly "efficient," but steady-state for a longer period of time (like Si6 and similar) is easier on the body and yes, you don't get as hungry. I have had good results when I'm actively training myself to work up to a 10K of intervals of walking, light jogging, and sprinting outdoors in the warmer months and keep my at-home workouts in the AWT/steady state/long realm, maybe mixed with some yoga and barre. Right now my weight sizes are just 5, 6, and 7 lbs. when I do stuff like old FIRMs and Jari Love. But I try to jog literally as many days of the week that the weather cooperates (some weeks it's 6 days, some it's only 3) and for around 1-2 hours at a pop. I know that's not logistically feasible for everyone, but several times I've lost a lot of weight with that regime.

I have now come to a place where I find ways to move my body that I enjoy (exercise dvds, horseback riding, kayaking, dancing, etc.). I work out to help my mood and to strengthen my body. I don't work out to change my body anymore. Instead, I made the radical decision to just love my body just the way it is. Good luck to you. I wish you the best!!

I probably should have made the down shift a few years ago when I couldn't recover anymore and was just causing my body too much stress. Case in point --I gained 10 pounds just from last summer to now even while working out heavily for 2 hours a day for 6 days a week. And I wonder why my body finally gave out... |
