Guest guest Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 Just as an FYI, Dr. Simeons says: " We encourage swimming and sun bathing during treatment, but it should be remembered that a severe sunburn always produces a temporary rise in weight, evidently due to water retention. The same may be seen when a patient gets a common cold during treatment. Finally, the weight can temporarily increase - paradoxical though this may sound - after an exceptional physical exertion of long duration leading to a feeling of exhaustion. A game of tennis, a vigorous swim, a run, a ride on horseback or a round of golf do not have this effect; but a long trek, a day of skiing, rowing or cycling or dancing into the small hours usually result in a gain of weight on the following day, unless the patient is in perfect training. In patients coming from abroad, where they always use their cars, we often see this effect after a strenuous day of shopping on foot, sightseeing and visits to galleries and museums. Though the extra muscular effort involved does consume some additional Calories, this appears to be offset by the retention of water which the tired circulation cannot at once eliminate. " So, he doesn't forbid exercise, he recommends that people who aren't *already* in good physical condition from exercise not start, or overexert. If you're already doing regular exercise, just be aware that 1) strenuous activity will cause water retention, and therefore either no loss or a slight gain due to water (this will disperse in a day or so), or 2) extra tiredness due to using calories faster than your body can tear them from your fat. I took up taekwondo in the last week of my last round (that was the way the timing worked out), and didn't experience the tiredness *or* the water retention. I made sure to consume extra water on workout days, and I think that helped. I start my next round in August, and have no intention of stopping my training during the VCLD. In 8 more weeks, I'll be in considerably better physical condition, so I don't anticipate a problem.

Previous to this diet I was swimming laps, 2 miles a day, every other day...

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 I highly recommend attending a regular water areobics class. I find the the other participants in the class as helpful as the instructor. We start off with just walking back and forth, then variations on jumping jacks, frog jumps, and cross country skiing motions. Then with the support of a belt or noodle, we go to the deep end and do crunches and knee bends. At the end we do stretching. Water offers the advantage that as you gain strength, and speed things up, if offers increasing resistance as needed. At the same time it cushions, supports and protects. No matter how weak or strong you are the water offers resistance you can work against. If at first you can't keep up, you can just slack off a bit. It's pretty hard to get hurt with water areobics. At my YMCA I can get in the pool early and stay in the pool afterwards. They also have a spa/hot tub as a reward for finishing. Some days, I just to the water areobics, and on others I go upstairs for walking, elliptical trainer or pin-select weight machines. The hard part is making up your mind to go and get in the pool, the rest happens automatically.
