I've never liked the idea of low carbs for runners, but I'm sure you are conscious of that already.<br /><br />I found myself about 15lbs heavier than I like at the first of the year. I went with the calorie counting method by downloading the My Fitness Pal app which made it super easy. I saw your post the other day about calorie accuracy. I generally assumed some sort of margin of error for everything I entered (burned or consumed).<br /><br />I had to get better at judging portion size ("A cup of cereal is that small?") and cut out some the at-work snacking I tend to do. Running easily added a good amount of calories back onto what I could eat for a given day. So did biking to work and going to the YMCA or walking at lunch a couple times a week. The result: 15 pounds lost in 6 weeks.<br /><br />Now I have to continue with having good judgement on portion size and snacks. And the running endurance and speed have definitely benefited now that I'm lighter on my feet.<br /><br />Good luck to both you and Greta!Matt Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13732167300460550506noreply@blogger.com
