The normal mind set for most health conscious people is how much calories they burn while exercising without considering the food they consume.
According CBC, some experts say that people think when they exercise they are burning calories and will lose weight, without considering what kind of food they put in their mouth.
Exercise is important for health reasons like cardiovascular fitness; however, a study discovered that the amount of weight being shed from doing exercise is just on an average amount. Steven Bray, a health psychologist at McMaster University said that when calories are burned during exercise, the body feels empty and therefore pushing the body to fill in that emptiness and drives hunger.
He explained that the challenging part for most people is that it takes a little bit of time to burn the calories at a high intensity level. Calories are consumed quickly and it is very to over consume because of the hunger that was developed because of exercise.
