akreese02 174 Posted December 20, 2015 (edited) So I have hit my long stall with 20 pounds left to goal. I have been overall good with Protein and Water. I started my first Orange Theory class today (intense 1 hour cross fit training) and now I can't sleep!!!!! I have been doing some research and there seems to be a science to eating before and after workouts (especially carbs) but I feel like I have been so anti-carbs for the last 8 months, wrapping my head around eating carbs is hard. I also don't want to get discouraged from working out but this girl has GOT TO SLEEP! Anyone have suggestions? Edited December 20, 2015 by akreese02 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Inner Surfer Girl 12,015 Posted December 20, 2015 Congratulations on the weight loss and for attempting such an intense exercise class. From everything I have learned, you will need to increase your carbs, Protein and even fluids to keep up with your exercise intensity. This would be a great question for your NUT. A bariatric NUT should have more insight then a general trainer or NUT at the gym.

MsCyrus 90 Posted December 20, 2015 The Protein shakes that so many of us drink are said to be great for before/after a workout. Don't drink anything with caffeine and caffeine can hide where you wouldn't expect it. The fitness people say to no workout before bedtime. At least 4 hours before bedtime. Good luck and keep us posted! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cutepretty1 121 Posted December 28, 2015 I love OTF but I have my membership suspended until I can begin working out again. What time is the class you are attending? I discovered if I attend a morning class I had energy throughout the day and slept well but an early evening class kept me awake at night. I can't wait to turn Orange????????????
