Why Am I never Hungary after a workout - confused

cocoemma

Hi I have a wierd question AGAIN... Is it normal not to be hungary after working out.. basically I work out when I come home from work, I do be starving when I get home, I just ignore it, it gets quite bad and after 20mins the hunger goes COMPLETLY.. I do have a shower and have my dinner about an hour after working out, but I do be thinking ''god I could just not eat anything'' the other morning I was up early about 6 and worked out before work ( because I know I'd be busy that evening) and the same I woke up starving and again after 20 mins the hunger went and again thought god I could go without.. I had my breakfast, fruit snacks and lunch as per normal and I actually wasn't properly hungary till half 3 that day.. Do I keep eating even if I don't feel like it, if I don't eat will be body eat the fat thats in it OR will it go into sarvation MODE... Anyone have any advice?

PS: I;m trying to lose two stone.. I'm on my fourth week and I've lost about 6 pounds so far.. Ireally want to do it this time, reason for my question I dont want to f**k it up thank..

My head hurts.

It's spelt "hungry" OP, Hungary is a country.

As for advice relating to your issue, I wouldn't worry too much. You're not going to go into "starvation" mode if you skip a meal or not eat for a few hours. There's diets out there that are aimed at eating only for a certain time period every day.

The main rule would be; eat when you're hungry, stop when you're not.

Oh dear.. ha I was rushing when I was writing it! .. ‘’ hungry’’ ha ha

Thanks for taking the time to give me advice.. but I’m not convinced. I’m terrified that all my good work will go to waste if I skip a meal! I’ll keep my eye on it..

If your primary objective is weight loss,then I would suggest eating only when you are hungry,well done with your weight loss btw ,keep up the good work:)

Sometimes that happens to me too. If I ignore hunger for a while, the feeling subsides. I'll usually get hungry again about an hour or two afterwards anyway. Don't worry about leaving a gap or missing a meal - a calorie deficit means weight loss.

Thanks Guys, If I excerise in the evening till about seven half seven is usually when I stop and say I don’t eat till about 9 then I’m afraid it’ll sit in my stomach while I sleep, i dunno I’m soo determined this time and I don’t want to mess it up basically.. surely If I excerise and keep active and eat healthy lots of fruit and veg I should lose the weight.. i dunno.. thanks again for the advice..

yeah eat when hungry, no point force feeding yourself.

I find after very hard training sessions, i have no appetite at all for hours, but if i have a really easy session or a rest day, im bloody ravenous. Go figure.
