Restricted after exercise

Betsyjane · April 26, 2007

Oh, I suppose everybody knows this already, but I just figured out that I can't eat right after I exercise. Nothing goes down but Water for a good 40 minutes. This is the second day I tried it, PBed, and then the light went on. Duh.

That's weird--I exercise everyday on my lunch hour--before I eat, and I have never had a problem. Just goes to show that we are all different, I guess. The important thing is that you are exercising, right? Congrats!

Hi BetsyJane.

It's funny that you say that because I have noticed the EXACT same thing. I get off work and go to the gym for a couple hours (treadmill and weightlifting). Then about 45 min later I am home and have dinner. I don't know why but the past few times I've worked out, I just am so restricted that it's impossible to eat. I haven't gotten a fill yet but can only imagine what it will be like after that...probably warm tea for dinner! Still I wish I knew why the exercise made me restricted like that. If you find out anything let me know! I see the doctor on Thursday, so I'll pick his brain a little. Virginia

This just popped into my head, BetsyJane...ur not drinking anything cold after exercising are you? The cold liquid will def make you more restricted.

I saw my Dr. this morning and asked him about restriction after exercise. He said that it's due to dehydration...that we need to keep hydrated throughout the day and also to drink while exercising.
