Part 2 in a series of pleasant surprises…
Who would have thought that consuming 900 calorie bottles of fluid would cause weight loss? Not me, but I’ve been dropping weight like crazy since starting to use Infinit.
I first started experimenting with the stuff about a month ago on my long IM training rides. Even though I’ve been training all summer (on rides of similar length) I have had no appreciable weight change throughout my run up to IMMoo. When I decided to try Infinit on the bike, I was initially worried that I’d gain weight because of the calorie content in the stuff compared to the nutrition strategies I had been using (mostly gels). But I was running out of energy on long rides and had to try something.
Funny thing is, I immediately noticed that when using Infinit I was MUCH less hungry after my long rides and my urge to eat afterwords virtually vanished (on many occasions I’ve had to force myself to eat). Now, instead of going into major caloric deficit then eating “a lot” following a workout, I’m now in a minor caloric deficit and can’t look at food after a workout. The result has been weight loss.
Yea, I know - in hindsight it’s obvious. But I certainly wasn’t expecting this effect when I tried the stuff. Way cool.
