Hungrier? Exercising in much colder temperatures

[shootingstar]

Sounds like reactive hypoglycemia, to me. It's one reason I do really well on low carb diets. High carb = incredible blood sugar yo-yos and irrational hunger.

Hey zoom-zoom, the reason why I ate cookie after the hike, was that I won a scratch n'win card that entitled me to a free bag ....of Christie cookies. We didn't know the neighbourhood to find shops/place to eat. So took transit and got off to use my freebie card at the sponsoring grocery store near home. I had to make good use of that cookie bag! Better to have that 1 cookie in moments of near desperation just after exercise, instead of 4 hrs. later ....because I really was desperate.

Before the winter snowy hike, I had a breakfast of cornflakes with milk, fruit, etc. No, I don't eat bacon or an egg often at all for breakfast. I never thought hiking on primarily a FLAT route would induce this type of hunger on a very cold winter day. He had a bottle of water. Dearie and I have gotten lost in that urban park before, which is 15 km. long with only 1 restaurant/cafe...which was closed this season. To get to street level, would mean another hike of at least 2 km. up a 18% steep hill (the only steepness in this route) and then you end up in the suburban residential area, not anywhere near a restaurant or even a donut shop until another 4 km. away.

(Why people want to live so much further away from services, shops --it definitely is not my style of living.)


For certain, feeling weak while outdoors and not immediately close to a store or place with food during very cold winter, is definitely not the same as feeling weak while in the summer or spring when it's warmer or hot. At least if you faint/collapse, you won't get hypthermia...
