I have always preferred avoiding digestion when physical exertion is imminent. The harder I work, the less hungry I become.
People have mentioned to me that I may have a food allergy, or some other type of disorder that makes digestion a problem. Have you considered this?
- stevenkovar 11y agoIt's not so much that I feel better exercising while fasted; it's that I don't feel inhibited exercising while fasted. However, the hunger-dampening effect of working out is common[0]: > "There are two important hormones involved in provoking appetite: ghrelin and peptide YY. Ghrelin is a hormone that stimulates hunger while peptide YY suppresses it. Aerobic and anaerobic exercise, such as weight training, both stimulate an increase in the peptide YY hormone. This is the primary reason healthy people have a feeling of fullness post-workout." After reflecting for a moment, I realize I experienced that sensation more often before I started intermittently fasting.
