AmberLaine's Journal, 05 February 2016

So I've done Cize four times now, and after 2 of them I became lightheaded. Both were days that I had less than ideal calories. I do not monitor every meal, but I have been cutting back on beans and meat as a means of portion control. Yesterday I logged everything I ate, and at no time was I hungry, and I made barely 1000. In fact it would have been less, but I ate a second 5 oz pork chop after becoming lightheaded after dancing.
Obviously, this is a problem. I don't know what sort of weightloss I can expect from slashing my calories so. Now I am putting portion control on the back burner, because most of my food is not highly caloric (especially beans and veg). I'll have to muscle through not being hungry, because if I'm not being healthy, what is the point?
I've made a new goal of wanting to be fit enough for Insanity, and if I go on like this on just Cize, I will surely pass out on Insanity.
Any tips from the LCHF folks on ingesting more calories for workouts?
Cize is a mid to high intensity dance program, fyi. Thanks, y'all!

Lowering your calories too low will sometimes hinder weight loss - you need enough to have energy, It sounds crazy but eat more fats before the gym - avocado, a handful of almonds, something. And be sure you have plenty pfwater before and during class. Also GOOGLE ketogenic to be sure you have your macros in the best zones. YOU can do it - never give up.

hey the lightheadedness can also be from too much ozygen from the deep breathing that takes place. i find it helps me realize that ive developed a sort of attitude of tension around certain activities becuase of the feelings i develop. breathe in deeply 40 times and it will do the same thing, but it isnt neccesarily a bad sign i think...it simply shows the limitations we have from our own level of health. i think if we dont go through it and relax our minds when we get that panicky feelings things get harder. hope that makes sense! thanks for posting and congratz and the dancercize program!
