                                According to a 2016 study from Loughborough University, regular exercise can lead to less hunger, yet many still wonder, 'why do I overeat when I exercise?'. This common paradox is caused by a mix of biological and psychological factors, including hormonal shifts, perceived calorie burn, and dehydration.
