That’s not how that works. lol. Am runner. Can confirm. It may take a bit after I run to want food but I promise I want LOTS of food. The longer I do it, the more I want healthy, nutritious, whole foods, as opposed to processed shit too. I feel better when I eat healthy, I run faster, I can workout longer, I don’t get tired as easily. I KNOW when I haven’t been eating right, or especially enough, because my body tells me.
The reason diets don’t last is because people view them as something temporary to get through, instead of the life changes that are needed. It’s hard (I lost about 50lb in 2016c and have kept it off since). It’s a huge commitment to stay healthy. Especially in USA. I get it. Not everyone want to commit to it. But none of that changes reality. The only way to lose weight is to consume less calories than you expend.
