Intense aerobic exercise, like jogging, may suppress your appetite for up to three hours by reducing levels of hunger hormones produced in your tummy.
This useful finding comes from a British study that also credited weight training with hunger-busting power.
So the next time hunger pangs make it hard for you to stick with your diet, try boosting the intensity of your workouts, researchers say. You may find that your cravings fade.

this is soooooo true, I try to run after I get off work around 4:30 pm about 4 to 5 miles and believe me! after running I have no craving for food at all, if anything I drink a vegetable or a fruit shake for supper and that’s all for me. I don’t feel hungry for the rest of the day.
If you trying to loose the extra pounds, this tip should help you.
Very true! When I get home after running, the only thing I crave is water… and lots of it. Usually I will run after work and by the time I am finished I only have the hunger for a light dinner. It’s great.
So true! I just came back from a run and although it’s time for dinner(I also only had a salad for lunch), I’m not hungry at all!
I hike or bike rather than run and have lost 110 pounds in 4 years since finding out I was diabetic in Dec 04. Aerobic exercise such as this really curbs my appetite and makes me stay pumped for several hours.
