A very well written response, thanks for taking your time!Good question.
As my main reason for following this way of living was excessive urination, I let that be my guide. Therefore, since working out still increases it, i only do 5-10 minutes of ELDOA stretches per day + light walks. So my case is unique and I’ve accepted the extra weight I carry.
For you personally, you need to follow based on how you feel, and you feel alone. I do believe that apart of this journey goes deeper than just nutrition, it’s really about becoming more comfortable in your own path. From a metabolic perspective, I support Dr. Peat’s wisdom on this. But most importantly, if you use logic. I think you need to prepare the body for what it needs, not what other people think. So, if you need to be running from a lion in the jungle often for whatever reason, then most likely you should be training for that scenario. If you need to pick up heavy loads to get by in life, then you probably should do some lifting.
if you feel that working out however you normally choose to gives you peace of mind with how you look, then you should examine your reasons.
Currently, I’ve tested my brains work capacity on some entrepreneur intensive ventures, and I’ll tell you this, I’ve had to increase my calories immensely because of how much energy I expend through my mind. So, if I crave more food, and my brain is being utilized more, I’m not worried about exercise, I’m worried about feeding my body the energy it needs to meet the demand of what’s being presented to me.
hope this helpful.
P.S. I do believe that exploring range of motion exercises for the sake of mobility is important for people to consider on this path. But for the sake of range, not increasing lactic acid.
I really love the idea you laid you - feed yourself according to environment you're in. Brick layer will have different "Peat" version vs IT specialist.
