This may not be what you want t hear, but I felt the same as you.
This is what I did, At first, weight was dropping off me like clothes that are way too large! I was scared and happy at the same time!
As weight continued to drop, everything was fine - and then it happened......... the pounds started coming back. I know I had to continue Heather's diet even though it is high in starches if I wanted any peace of mind, body, and soul.
I started doing aerobics 5 x per week for 30 mins a day Monday-Friday. That was fine for a while, then I started to notice that my muscles did not look well-defined anymore, and things that were lifted before were sagging even though I was exercising 5 days per week.
After the panic faded, I knew I had to strengthened my upper and lower body. I now do aerobics 3 x per week and total body weightlifting with Rachael McLish 3 x per week - it evened out the score!
Exercise to maintain your weight and pump iron if you must to build muscle!
I don't mean extensive weightlifting. I lift 5 pounds for my upper body with Rachael. It depends on you and how big you want your muscles to be (Competitive Big) or just well-defined lean sculpted muscle.
It works for me, but you might not feel the same and everything does not work for everybody. With all of us having IBS though, exercise is a good thing for us; it gets the blood moving and other things moving as well. (smile)
That's my two cents.
Good Luck.
