Open Question: Eating after an evening work out?

Friday, August 8th, 2008

Right now the only time I have available for working out is around 630-7pm at night. Sometimes I try to eat dinner before I work out, but sometimes it doesn’t happen until after. I don’t have any carbs for dinner if I’m eating after my workout. Usually chicken and salad or some kind of vegetable. On the days I eat dinner before, I usually will have a bowl of cereal after my work out. Something healthy.. like Special K Or Koshi’s Heart to Heart.. is it bad to eat the cereal? Or can you give me some ideas on what I should eat after my work out? I’m trying to lose weight! I’m 302lbs and 5′9! Is it ok to eat the dinner w/o carbs after my workout?? I walk treadmill at 3.5 now for 30 min and then 5min cool down.. then I strength train afterwards.. Arms one day and legs the next! I’m female! Thanks for any and all help!

Open Question: Is forcing down a lot of water bad for you?

Friday, August 8th, 2008

hey there.
before i workout i drink almost a whole bottle of gatorade (filled w/ water) and then every 10 minutes during my workout i drink about a cup of water (i workout for 1 hour every day). and then after my workout i drink another whole gatorade bottle of water.
the thing is that i always feel sick when i force down water and i even get a little nauseated.
i workout in my room and run on a treadmill usually in the evening, so i don’t get as hot as what i would if i was outside on a sunny day.
i know its good to drink as much water as possible when working out, but i’m just kinda wondering if i’m overdoing the water intake. and also i have to go pee every 10 minutes which is so annoying!
ok, thanks guys.
