Fact: Exercise is actually an effective appetite suppressant. It will however, make you thirsty because you will perspire, urinate and respirate fluid from your body. That is why you need to drink water before , during and after exercise. If you make the mistake of eating instead of drinking in order to rehydrate, or if you drink so called ‘sports drinks’ or ‘energy drinks’ , then of course you will negate the effects of your exercise. Exercise also oxygenates your blood supply and body cells, which helps to boost metabolism and burn body fat for several hours after you have finished exercising.
