View Full Version : How do you handle TOM?  06-09-2010, 06:03 AM
I'm at 1349 calories/day for losing at my desired rate. But the
last couple months I've started feeling awful for about a week
due to TOM. No energy. Deep hunger. Nauseous. (I was fine the
first few months I started losing weight when I was at a higher
calorie level.)  Do you increase your calorie intake around this
time? Either to slower weight loss or maintenance level?  I'm
also getting a little older, so I don't know how much that plays
into it and how much more food would help.  06-09-2010, 08:13 AM
If you have no energy, and you're hungry, then you should
ABSOLUTELY up your calories. You need food for fuel and it
doesn't sound like you are getting enough. :)  06-09-2010, 08:39
AM My TOM really doesn't effect me at all (keeping my fingers
crossed it always stays that way) but if you are feeling hungry
definitely eat. I find if I work out harder it makes me feel
better but I know that's not true for everyone.  I found this on
another website
