Exercise And Appetite

How exercise affects one’s appetite could determine whether or not they lose weight successfully, according to new research. Scientists examined 58 overweight men and women as they completed a 12-week exercise program, concluding that exercise increased the participants’ pre-meal appetite. However, the exercisers were also more satisfied by their morning meal when compared to their sedentary lifestyle behavior before the study. Researchers say this study, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, could explain why some people succeed at weight loss where others fail. Even if exercise doesn’t melt away pounds, it still improves heart health and lowers cholesterol and blood pressure.
