I've gotten so fat eating a peat-inspired diet, probably fatter after drifting towards something that looks more like a traditional diet using peat's core principles. In the past, I struggled to keep any weight on. Outside of diet, the biggest change is that I no longer ride a bicycle. I used to ride my bicycle everywhere, and even had something like a reward system; If I wanted to treat myself to some ice cream I had to ride my bicycle, not drive, to the grocery store to get it. Ultimately though, overexercising and dieting (paleo, IF etc.) are what brought me to Peat and left me with a bad taste for exercise.
For a while I've felt that my diet is better and I need to get back to cycling, but I now live in a rural area surrounded by rolling hills and narrow roads (populated by inconsiderate drivers) that isn't conducive to the kind of exercise I used to get. I've tried other exercise routines that involve something like swinging iron balls around or running in place, and it just feels very tedious and joyless to me, like a chore that has never become something I want to keep up. Same goes for bicycle trainers, but I suppose I've never tried using apps or videos to supplement that.
I'm curious, does anyone else here ride a bicycle? Has it helped you to manage your weight? Do you have any recommendations for making training (or any kind of exercise for that matter) more engaging and fun to do at home?
