RED-S Recovery and Hungry
I originally posted this on the advanced running sub and it was removed. Hoping I have better luck connecting with others here:
I am currently in the beginning weeks of my journey to recover from RED-S. For now, I am still running about 40 miles per week. I have went all in on increasing my fueling both around activity and throughout the day. I’m also working with a sports dietitian. I have found that since I started eating more, I am absolutely ravenous. I can plow through a bag of chips and then still want ice cream after. My sport dietitian said this was a normal part of recovery and I need to honor the hunger. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, how did you cope? I am not seeking medical advice. I am hoping to find stories of others that have went through a similar experience.
