Fun physical activity decreases appetite

After workouts that people carry out with pleasure, they eat less food than after a grueling and mandatory training. To such conclusion the American scientists from Cornell University, conducted 2 experiments involving two groups of volunteers (56 and 46).


The first group was asked to make a two-kilometer walk. Part of the subjects were enthusiastic about the proposal, for others such a distance meant a serious workout. After the race all participants were offered a snack. Interestingly, those who took it as fitness, ate 35% more dessert than those who would walk with pleasure. The second experiment differed from the first in that after the walk the group members suggested candy. In the end, those who walked for sport, ate twice as many calories than those who get pleasure from walking. According to the author of the experiment, when participants viewed a walk as an athletic exercise after they feel tired and unhappy, wanted to reward themselves with food that led to overeating. That's why trying to lose weight so often turn into his set. To Your workout was really effective, do not have to get out of the way or to refuse food. The main thing — that the number of calories You take in does not exceed the necessary daily requirement, and their surplus is always possible to spend with your favorite pastime, for example, Cycling, Jogging or badminton.
