[QUOTE="CathytheChef, post: 1473148, member: 39439"] I know it's super annoying - depending on the kind of exercise you do it can affect your blood sugars for up to 72 hours afterwards!! You need to remember 2 things: 1) It's far better for your health to be fit and fat than thin and unfit - you're still doing yourself good by exercising even if you're not loosing weight because of the extra food you need. 2) Everyone should eat more after working out. The food you eat after exercise goes directly to repairing and building muscle rather than gaining weight. Esp when you eat carbs after exercise, those are really important and the extra food will actually make you stronger and more fit, rather than making you gain weight. The long and short of it is that you're not reversing all the good work you've done at the gym by having extra food during or after exercise. Make sure you have an extra snack before bed to avoid those night time hypos :-) Hope that helps xox [/QUOTE]
