High-Intensity Exercise Increases Appetite

You gain body fat when you take in more calories in the diet than you metabolize (burn) at rest and during exercise. The body tries to maintain a constant weight that scientists call the weight set point. It seems reasonable that increasing caloric use during exercise might also affect food intake and appetite. Men lose weight more easily than women. One reason for this may be that exercise affects appetite differently in men than in women Exercising at high intensities decreases caloric intake in men. Scientists from the University of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, found that intense exercise increased appetite in Women, while low-intensity exercise had no effects on food intake. Don’t use this study as an excuse to stop exercising intensely. Other Canadian studies showed that women who trained intensely lost more body fat in six months than those who trained at slower rates.
