 Re: Weight training during induction? | |
Nope. As long as one has weight to lose, the body will use fat to get the energy it needs.
I don't know how old your son is or what his stats are... If he feels tired, he can solve the problem by having a fat & protein snack before and after exercising. It takes the body a little longer to get ATP from fat than from carbohydrates, so he has to "refuel" at the right time. He should probably also move to OWL after the first two weeks and add foods back to his diet. I assume he is a "regular exerciser" (as defined in DANDR), which means his CCLL should be in the 60-90 net carbs range. So he can eat this many net carbs and still lose weight.
Same things apply to you, of course.
Happy weight lifting!

Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"
