Just get to the gym the next day." That said, I recommend a solid weight-training workout. Nothing gets all that glucose in the bloodstream to muscles faster than weights! Psychologically, a good workout after a binge is a boon. It helps remind people they're in control. Plus, you sweat like crazy (with all those extra calories, your metabolism's ablaze). I always sense that lifting heavy pushes all the sugar into my muscles, so it's not likely to be stored as fat. It also helps me survive the "sugar coma" feel of the "day after."Kathleenhttp://www.fabfit50s.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6715049094354778809.post-7542574071488191012009-12-09T00:53:46.604+00:002009-12-09T00:53:46.604+00:00That's an interesting take on binge drinking.....That's an interesting take on binge drinking...

I've never tried this, so given that I crashed and burned today, tomorrow I will give this 3-day recovery plan a shot and see if it puts me in better control than my previous plan, which obviously hasn't put me in control!Deannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07297218258560830869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6715049094354778809.post-9132039914236024162009-12-05T02:02:11.441+00:002009-12-05T02:02:11.441+00:00Probably pretty good advice for most.

Generally it's not a long one, but it seems to get things normalizing in me pretty quickly.Grokhttp://castlegrok.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6715049094354778809.post-7921416295389406932009-12-04T19:47:56.788+00:002009-12-04T19:47:56.788+00:00Thank you for this timely post.

It's good food for thought because my knee-jerk reaction is just the opposite of what you suggest: I decide to atone by fasting and am usually miserable at achieving that, which just puts me worse down the drain of self-loathing. I will take your advice (today is my 'Day 1' as I blew it yesterday) and I will eat well and avoid exercise. Let's see how it goes!BestSelfhttp://www.twitter.com/BestSelfnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6715049094354778809.post-1850212158305435782009-12-04T19:41:39.748+00:002009-12-04T19:41:39.748+00:00Thanks for all your comments.

My <a href="http://paynowlivelater.blogspot.com/2009/06/celebration-turns-into-6-day-junk-food.html" rel="nofollow">6-day binge</a> was VERY hard to stop.<br /><br />Thanks James - I also try to avoid the REAL benders. Frankly, the day after one of those, willpower more or less evaporates entirely, so sticking to healthy food is almost impossible.<br /><br />Gilliebean - sounds good. You and I obviously have similar constitutions.Methuselahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09134860337125242027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6715049094354778809.post-43508779378694479282009-12-04T16:43:28.152+00:002009-12-04T16:43:28.152+00:00Thanks for this.

And it worked for me too! <br /><br />It was strange because I was all geared up to fast, but in the morning of Day 1, something told me "eat healthy today." So I did. I ate my normal low-carb, high fat, protein-rich meals. The next day I didn't fast entirely, but I decreased my grams. And the following day I exercised. It felt so much better than fasting on Day 1. Yay! I like having a plan!gilliebeanhttp://clubfritch.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6715049094354778809.post-75783635271232207132009-12-04T14:09:54.498+00:002009-12-04T14:09:54.498+00:00First of all love your site and follow on twitter....First of all love your site and follow on twitter. As a salesperson, I am out once a week. I do a great job following paleo (some cheats obviously) but the booze comes into play when entertaining.<br /><br />I tend to cut mine into 2 days. First day is yes very very important for the food to be good and high quality. Sometimes I like to break a little sweat, just to get it going...nothing heavy or long. then, of course, the most important thing is SLEEP. SLEEP. <br /><br />The next day, after a full nights sleep, I am tight so lots of DROMs before workout. Olympic lifts usually get me back to where I need to be. Good PWO meal, try to sleep well after that. <br /><br />That's my two day version. If it's a REAL bender (I try to avoid, they are too painful,) Then sure, two days, but that requires a very very excessive amount of booze...Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17393402245618158375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6715049094354778809.post-45428985739601013642009-12-04T10:35:22.742+00:002009-12-04T10:35:22.742+00:00As they say, everybody is different. Your suggesti...As they say, everybody is different. Your suggestions would not work for me, at least not all the time.<br /><br />My body reacts differently to different kinds of food binges.<br /><br />For example, if I've been on a high-carb binge, I'm in big trouble, because the carbs just trigger more and more binge eating. It's very difficult to break that cycle, but the only thing for me to do then is stop the carbs, and to ear some high-fat low-carb foods like avocados, cream cheese, and butter.<br /><br />On those less-frequent occasions when I've been on a low-carb binge, I usually immediately feel stuffed and nauseous. At that point, I usually can't stand the sight of food. That's not too bad, because that makes it easy to do without for a while, and then ease back into a decent low-carb diet.jimpurdy1943@yahoo.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12974301744118775363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6715049094354778809.post-13958883101657464962009-12-04T08:30:51.171+00:002009-12-04T08:30:51.171+00:00Thanks it is much wiser to me than the urgent impu...Thanks it is much wiser to me than the urgent impulse of wanting to to do an 24 h ifast and hitting the gym.<br /><br />I am not planning a bing but with x-mas and all that you never know;)thaniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18209433057858172963noreply@blogger.com
