Run down your appetite

Head to the kitchen before you head to the gym. A new study from San Diego State University reports that working out after a meal can prolong your feeling of fullness. The scientists found that people who exercised after they ate maintained lower hunger levels for 5 hours postmeal than when they exercised before eating. The researchers haven't yet pinned down the mechanism, but they speculate that exercise may raise concentrations of peptide-YY, a hormone that decreases appetite. The study participants worked out 2 hours after they ate. Plan accordingly.
