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.
If you want some sound, professional advice go back to post number 49, deinekatze, and look at it as well as the rest of her post. Cheers.
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
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 was walking over 1 mile a day, then took a bad fall backwards 3 weeks ago possibly breaking my tailbone (fall was not due to walking). The dr said nothing can be done to fix it so I never had xrays done. what kind of exercise can I do that will increase weight loss but not irritate the tailbone. 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.
