[QUOTE="AdamJames, post: 1790618, member: 459333"] I do still have ideas to try while still going on the big walks at weekends, but I'm losing hope. One is to deliberately eat a fair bit more than my appetite tells me to while I'm on the walks - I could do that and still lose weight, and maybe I won't crave food so much in the days afterwards? Another is to accept that I'm basically still a carb-burning machine since I can't get properly fat-adapted, so to eat what I used to eat years ago when in the hills - flapjacks, porridge etc - just eat them before the walking, taking advantage of the fact I seem to be able to avoid big spikes if I do that. Maybe the keeping carbs low, but not being fat-adapted, is confusing my poor body? Another idea is to try to use sleep rather than food to regain energy in the days after the big walks. If I could force myself to get to sleep very early on Mondays and Tuesdays maybe that would help. Certainly the way I experience hunger on those days is a lot of it feels like tiredness - I only become alert once I've eaten a lot of food. Anyway these are all just possibly desperate ideas. I'd much rather somebody else told me what to do and then it's their fault when it all goes wrong. [/QUOTE]
