                                Intense exercise can cause a temporary suppression of the hunger hormone ghrelin, leading to a feeling of fullness after your workout. If you’ve ever finished a strenuous training session and felt a surprising lack of appetite, you’re experiencing a normal physiological response to exercise that’s influenced by hormonal shifts, altered blood flow, and more.
