Re: Running for weight loss?

You started running 20 yrs ago so you obviously forgot the
psychological changes that occur when you start doing intense exercise.
For a lot of sedentary people, food is the only thing that lifts their
mood. You eat a lot after a race but you would not slip into a mild
depression if you denied yourself this food. You dont feel the high
from running because running has lifted your mood in general. It has
given you some structure and things seem more pleasant relative to the
terrible pain of running.

You must be trolling!

Running wont burn very many calories
I still like round numbers albeit some percent off a 100 Kcal a mile. if
you burn off more than you input, you lose weight. Fairly straight
forward.

but it will suppress your appetite.

Speak for yourself, I can eat a ton of food, and often do, after a race
and pack of fellow runners that do the same. Your appetite suppression
is more of those that are new to the sport.

You will get your high from running instead of eating.

I have been running for 20 years I haven't any idea what a "runners
high" is. Maybe that's why I eat a lot after a run, I missed the high.
Can I buy some at a sports store?


The running high is better than the food high.

I don't know, I sure do enjoy a great big breakfast after a nice long
moring run. I won't call it a high but damn pleasing

Any other myths or misconceptions you want to offer?
