Weight lifting during IP Phase 1?
Hubby and I are on the Ideal Protein protocol, and have each lost over 40 lbs since February. We are rounding 3rd and heading for the finish line, hopefully mid-July or so. I just posted in the weight-loss surgery forum about loose skin and my general disappointment with how flabby I am. We used to work out quite a lot with weights, and I really enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to it again! Enough so that I'm tempted to start some kind of resistance training even now in Phase 1. Now, with the cost of IP foods, we can't really afford to add more in response to working out. Plus it seems like it might be a bad idea to confuse the body by telling it to build itself up in one area while telling it to shrink itself in another. Or is that just my flawed logic? Is there anyone here who has worked out or is working out on Phase 1? Any suggestions?
