And to Danni & Steve, I often find it hard to know weather it's actually the affect of the diet itself that makes me a bit slower (albeit temporarily), or if it's the fact that I weigh too little. People can be weak from eating too little and still weigh too much, obviously. So, I guess it takes a lot of experimentation to figure out what your ideal performance weight is (and obviously depends on your sport). That is part of the reason I'm a little hesitant to stop the diet now. Steve, your BMI was 17.6 - holy wow - that is low!sea legs girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782712411873234071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-76286680596907521612008-05-22T17:34:00.000+02:002008-05-22T17:34:00.000+02:00I never connected this blog and you until you cont...I never connected this blog and you until you contacted me! There's a built-in failsafe for runners who diet; decreased performance. In my case, in college, I started to fall apart at 130 lbs (at 6 feet). I'm 30 lbs. heavier now and slower, but healthier overall.SteveQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16943650844671498074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-41335676745960642082008-05-22T05:32:00.000+02:002008-05-22T05:32:00.000+02:00If you want to maintain your weight but stay on yo...If you want to maintain your weight but stay on your oatmeal diet, it sounds like you need to supplement your oatmeal with yet more oatmeal. Or do you mean you don't want to stop dieting?<BR/><BR/>I think it's harder to maintain weight than to lose it -- you are rewarded directly by dieting -- you see the low number on the scale. The reward of not gaining weight isn't as palpable and can be boring. Perhaps a new goal, such as how much weight you can lift, would satisfy the number-oriented/goal-oriented/fitness-oriented cravings?Dannihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02201053516148787578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-49414668928217374682008-05-22T01:12:00.000+02:002008-05-22T01:12:00.000+02:00Just be careful, sealegs.
