Episode notes
High Energy Flux Improves Appetite Control
- Increasing physical activity improves appetite regulation by sensitizing satiety signals.
- High energy flux lets you eat more while staying lean because you burn more calories through activity.
Exercise Usually Suppresses, Not Increases, Hunger
- Most peer-reviewed literature finds exercise improves appetite regulation rather than increasing hunger.
- Regular activity increases postprandial satiety and reduces the tendency to overeat hyper-palatable foods.
Acute Exercise Suppresses Appetite Hormones
- Single exercise bouts suppress hunger during and immediately after activity.
- Studies show ghrelin decreases and satiety hormones rise, so people rarely fully compensate by eating more that day.
