Working out too hard, i.e. anaerobically such as running or anything that gets you out of breath, can trigger hunger if you're not adapted to that level of exercise. It puts your body in high alert mode and you will have to balance out stress hormones and refuel immediate energy stores after. Pushing yourself to the limit is probably only a good idea if your body is already healthy enough to take the abuse. If you want to lose weight, something less taxing that you can happily do for a longer time is a much better choice – work with your body and mind, not against them. Give your body time to hit those fat stores instead of putting it in overdrive and pulling energy from more direct sources of glycogen.
