Try it and see if you like it. You may find that as you lose exercise becomes more enjoyable and can be part of your regular routine.

I have continues my usual 60 minute bootcamp style daily workouts through ip and never felt the lack of calories was an issue. I do add a packet or equivalent in egg whites each day.

Glad to see this thread a bit active again... I ditto Linden's post, anything written by Elizabeth (deinekatze) is worth the read...

I've been exercising since I started IP, pretty intensively most of the time, & can only sing its praises... I have a sneaking suspicion that a reason the IP "bosses" more or less discourage exercise is to keep people from freaking out if the exercise makes them gain a few lbs. on the scales, even though it's not gonna be fat weight, but instead a little water weight... read this: Exercise and Weight Loss Lesson of the Week: You Might Gain Weight...Temporarily

hugs :hug:

Does anyone else develop a severe headache after exercising? I have added an extra packet, 1/2 before and 1/2 after I exercise.

Only in really hot weather... makes me think maybe I'm (& maybe you) not drinking enough water or getting enough salt...

hugs :hug:

I exercise indoors so the temp isn't a factor, I will start drinking some more water during my workout. Thanks for the suggestion.

You are welcome, I bumped it for you :)

I've been walking for 30 mins everyday at the gym and then spending 10mins in sauna. I feel very good. Its my 3rd week so i think im good right?

Started metabolic exercises from today.

I just read this on an Ideal Protein Facebook page...Thought I would pass it along.....

I am sharing an answer that i just read on a different page about the same question ,here it goes ,by ``Julie Watson`` Do not do aerobic exercise while on a ketosis diet. You can do walking and light strength training, but do not allow yourself to sweat or to be out of breath. You no longer have your glycogen (stored glucose) for the added energy needed, ...and you will burn muscle. If after you have been on protocol for 3 weeks, you can do light walking and or lite yoga or pilates but please make sure to eat/drink an exctra non-restrictecd protein within 45 minutes of completion. When you hit your Ideal Weight and go back into glucose burning, then you can work out all you want. We had a conference call a couple months back, and the head medical person with Ideal Protein said 25 years of statistics show that people who do hard aerobic exercise on this protocol burn muscle and have stalled wieght loss. The coaches at Ideal Weight want nothing more than to help you SUCCEED!!!

I completely disagree. Many months ip. Lots of exercise. No muscle loss.

Just passing on what was said by an Ideal Protein Clinic. I know several have exercised while on it

The imbalance ball is definitely out.

Swimming will help to get blood flow into any damaged tissue around the tail bone which is probably bruised. Blood flow will help heal, strengthen, and renew the tissue but, avoid weight bearing exercise as that my add to the bruising. Gently flutter kick while floating on your back, it will strengthen the area. Be careful not to overdo it in the beginning.
