Tag: Workout cravings

Research shows that starting strength training can boost your metabolic rate for up to 36 hours after a workout. It is a very common and normal phenomenon to find yourself asking, "Why am I so hungry when I start the gym?"

A study suggests that after intense exercise, people may show a stronger desire for dessert foods due to the body's instinct to replenish depleted energy stores. This helps explain why you might crave ice cream after working out, as your body signals a need for quick fuel.
