Hello everyone,
My coach mentioned that after the first 3 weeks of Phase 1 you could actually start working out but not any strenuous exercises.
Is anyone on Phase 1 working out? If yes, what kinds?
just have to say I was working out running 3-4 miles 4 days a week with extra packet but the scale was only moving 1-1.6 lbs a week. this week I gave it a rest and 5 lbs magically left the building. Good luck.
I swam and did weights. I did not do sprints, more steady state swimming. Same with weights, did not do real heavy, the most I did was 15 pound dumbbells which for me is light.
After about a month my body was burning keotones well and exercise got easier.
Thanks for the responses. I feel more energetic after 3 weeks so I thought I will start Elliptical may be start out with 20 mins and take it from there.
I was worried that exercise will slow down the IP diet program.
I will try to do the elliptical only 15 mins daily at a very low heart rate! We'll see how it goes :-) my coach told me to do half of my usual workout and mo weight training because it shows lower loss on the scale (at least for the beginning)

True.. I read in many threads here that if you exercise in phase 1 atleast for a little bit somehow it benefits maintenance phase may be the fact that we get used to working out or the exercise will probably help us with watching calories etc
Exercise on Phase 1
