Do you have to eat after a workout, even if you don't want to? I have learned from my experience and in order avoid the cravings later, I usually have at least some sort of protein dense food or drink soon after my run. Then I want to eat everything and anything in sight, and I especially crave salty foods. My hunger is nothing particularly unusual right after I run, but if I don't eat enough, it will catch up by the evening or by the next day – in a bad way! I have noticed it in myself, especially after a long (1,5+ hours) run, how the hunger can show up even way later than couple of hours. But most of us are usually able to eat after a little while. So, the short hunger suppression period is not a reason why working out helps to lose fat – we are not creating a huge caloric deficit just because of that. The loss of appetite usually appears right after working out. Remember that bodyweight training is also weight training! Does exercise-induced loss of appetite help with fat loss? It has been shown that vigorous workouts like sprinting, HIIT and other high intensity workouts suppress appetite more than moderate or gentle exercise.Įven though slow and steady exercising like walking or bike riding may suppress appetite, they don't do it as much as high intensity workouts do.Īlso, weight training, like working out with kettlebells, sandbags, medicine balls or any other free weights or weight machines tends to suppress appetite more than weight-free workouts, like running or walking. Type of workout and fluctuation of hunger levelsĭifferent types of exercises have different effects on our hormonal levels, including hunger hormones. So, the combination of decreased levels of ghrelin and increased levels of peptide YY is the reason why you may not feel like eating after a workout, even if you have just burnt a ton of energy. When working out, peptide levels will increase and as a result, your appetite will drop. Peptide YY's job is to decrease appetite. There are several hormones that are related to appetite and when we are working out, their levels fluctuate. Exercise can suppress the level of the appetite increasing hormone, ghrelin. When the ghrelin level is low, it simply won't send the message “It's time to eat!” to your brain.Īlso another appetite-related hormone, peptide YY, is affected by working out. Hormones are an extremely important part of the human body and they affect all its processes. However, just the smell of food or the thought of eating may make you want to throw up. It may seem counterintuitive, because we would expect the body to ask for fuel after burning a decent amount of calories. Have you ever found it almost impossible to eat after a workout? ![]()
