Ringing up more than a 7,000-calorie deficit in a week…?
In Men’s Health Mag, there’s an article by an overweight guy who quit his job, dumped his girlfriend, and started working out constantly all in an attempt to overhaul his young (25 yrs ancient) life. This is a small extreme, but makes for a excellent tale.
Anyway, in the article he says he was careful not to run up more than a 7,000-calorie deficit (or 2lbs of stout) in any given week because the body will freak out.
Could somebody better define "freak out"? I’m plotting to take a week off from my desk job to just workout and jumpstart my metabolism again. I’ve been eating healthy the past year and a half, but I’m not a huge calorie counter to know exactly what my intake is nor do I care to keep track of the calories I’m burning. But, I do care that my body doesn’t freak out and want to know the physical warning signs before I reach that point. After this week of excercise I plot to continue by building the habit of working out at least 3 times per week.
