That said, everyone is different, and the hunger response to exercise can vary widely. Your weight and level of fitness can impact your hunger, too. Studies suggest that fitter you are, the weaker your hunger response will be. In general, women tend to be hungrier after a workout than men. Obese women may have more of an appetite than lean women because obese women tend to be resistant to the appetite-suppressing hormone leptin. Sometimes thirst masquerades as hunger , Edwina Clark, M.
Your stomach. Kleiner, Ph. She explains that the harder you exercise the more oxygen your muscles need, the more carbon dioxide you then end up exhaling and inhaling. A meta-analysis by Schubert et al, , looked at acute energy intake up to a maximum of 24 hours post-exercise 1.
Twenty-nine studies, consisting of 51 trials were included. Test meals were offered hours post-exercise. If subsequent meals were presented, they were hours apart, from meals. The overall results suggest that exercise is effective in producing a short-term energy deficit. Meaning that the subjects did not compensate for the energy they expended during exercise, in the hours after exercise. Forty-five studies reported relative energy intake after exercise.
All trials reported absolute energy intake. Despite large energy expenditures, the absolute energy intake was only slight higher in the exercise group compared to the no-exercise group, with a mean increase of about 50kcal. These results are in line with a review of Deighton et al 2.
Namely, that an acute bout of exercise does not stimulate any compensatory increases in appetite and energy intake on the day of exercise.
A review by Donnelly et al , included studies in their review 3. Exercise duration ranged from a single min exercise bout to daily exercise over 14 days. Energy intake was measured from once post-exercise up to 72 weeks. Overall, the energy intake was reduced in participants doing exercise compared with participants not doing exercise.
Thus, in the short-term, exercise results in a negative energy balance. As for long term, only 2 out of the 36 non-randomized and randomized trials, in duration from 3 to 72 weeks, reported an increase in absolute energy intake in response to exercise.
Moreover, 30 of the studies reported no change in calorie intake, while five of the randomized studied reported significant decreases of calories per day in response to training.
Blundell et al, , agrees that exercise has little effect on energy intake within a single day 4. The meta-analysis by Schubert et al, , indicated that individuals of low and moderate fitness reduce energy intake more than those with high fitness level 1. They reference previous work that agrees that individual who are more physically active more accurately regulate their energy expenditure.
The sessions were between min with repetition maximum and sets. Acute energy intake up to 14 hours were reduced compared to energy expenditure; however, it was not as reduced as the groups with endurance training. When we exercise, our bodies become hot and we start to feel flushed. But something else happens: our appetites decrease after the workout. Researchers set out to explore exactly why and how this happens.
For a long time, I lived with the conviction that the more physically active I was, the more my appetite would increase.
Makes sense, right? Surely, I would think, the body will call for a replacement of all the calories burnt while jogging or dancing. Studies have now shown that aerobic exercise — such as running, cycling, and swimming — actually decreases appetite by changing the levels of hormones that drive our state of hunger.
However, the underlying biological mechanisms that are therefore set in motion, and which tell our bodies to secrete fewer of the hormones that drive hunger, have remained uncertain. But recently, one researcher decided to take steps toward understanding what goes on in the body after a decent workout. Young-Hwan Jo, of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx, NY, was intrigued by how his regular minute runs always left him craving less food than usual.
He believed that the fact that body heat goes up during exercise may play a role in signaling to the brain that appetite needs to go down.
He thought the process might be similar to what happens in the body when we eat very spicy foods. When we eat foods that contain hot chili peppers, our body temperature seems to go up, and our appetite decreases.
Capsaicin has also been shown to create a decrease in appetite , which has made this compound a target of research for weight loss treatments. Following this train of thought, Jo wondered whether the increased body heat felt after exercising might not stimulate neurons in brain areas responsible with homeostasis, the regulation of basic bodily processes, including eating.
And, sure enough, the results of the research that followed — which have now been published in the journal PLOS Biology — indicate that he was on the right track. This is a membrane that prevents most of the cells in the brain from being exposed to serious fluctuations in blood plasma composition, thus protecting neural function.
