Intense exercise suppresses the appetite and may reduce food and energy intake for several hours. Exercise also increases energy expenditure and can stimulate the appetite to "make up" for calories burned off during exercise. It's difficult to know which way intense exercise is going to influence your appetite, but there are a few general rules of thumb that can help.

Lift Weights to Lose Weight
Add some resistance training (calisthenics or weight lifting) at least one of the three days. Resistance training builds muscle mass, and muscle burns energy all day long, even when you're not using it. And, resistance training helps keep your bones strong.

You can do weight lifting at home with "free" weights (barbells). It is far safer to do it with resistance training machines, which you can't drop on your head. Buy a good one, or go to a gym.

Pick one exercise for each of three major muscle groups, and do some stretches beforehand to prevent injuries. See Bodyandfitness Training Center

Appetite and weight control: Running yes, swimming no
In general, the more intense the exercise, the higher your body temperature, and the more likely your appetite will be suppressed for several hours following exercise. Exercising at low intensity and working out in cold temperatures will have less of an effect on hunger and post-exercise appetite.

Fitness swimming is a good example. Swimming is a notoriously poor method of exercise for inducing weight loss. Swimming sessions do not result in the same degree of weight loss that other exercise sessions of comparable caloric expenditure do; they also don't affect the appetite the same way. Often, after a hard swim workout in the morning, you'll still be hungry for a big breakfast, but after a morning run you'll be less likely to feel hungry until later in the day.

Exercise: Hotter and harder aids appetite control
Why would one exercise stimulate the appetite and another suppress it? Body temperature and exercise intensity are possible factors.
 
In the case of swimming, body temperature may drop after prolonged exposure to cold water. This can stimulate hunger for a period of time after exercise. But running and forms of exercise that elevate body temperature tend to suppress the appetite after exercise.

Exercise intensity also affects appetite levels. The few studies that have closely examine the relationship between exercise intensity and food intake note that the higher the intensity of exercise, the more severe the degree of appetite suppression, and the longer duration of reduced food intake.

Of course, appetite levels gradually return to normal, but they don't seem to increase quite enough to compensate for the energy expended during exercise. Long-term energy intake-eating a lot for a long period of time-does not seem to increase over time, which suggests that daily bouts of intense exercise shift the energy balance, and are an effective strategy in weight control.

Aerobics: To burn fat, move your butt!

Begin by doing some sort of aerobic (fat burning) exercising three days per week. Start by exercising aerobically (run, swim, bike, etc.) for 15 minutes each of the three days, then gradually build up to 30-45 minutes. Begin with an easy pace. You can bump up the intensity, frequency, and duration later on, after exercise becomes an enjoyable habit.

Choose an aerobic exercise you really like to do. Walking, biking, indoor aerobics, stair-stepping, running, swimming— even dancing— will work well. (A word to the wise: Martial arts workout fads like Tae Bo look cool but don't burn many calories.)

Straight Facts on Fad Diets
Low-Carb / High-Protein Diets: Eating a load of refined carbohydrates— that is, sweet or starchy food — floods your blood with the hormone insulin, whose job is to carry blood sugar into cells. Release of too much insulin in response to an excess of dietary carbohydrates may in turn produce temporary low blood sugar, and a resulting craving for even more carbohydrates, or "carb's." Diet plans such as The Zone, Dr. Atkin's diet, and the Carbohydrate Addict's Diet claim that an "addiction" to carb's is a main cause of overeating. While eating too many sweet, starchy foods can lead to obesity (and diabetes), getting fat is mostly a function of excess calories, regardless of their source. Low-carb, high-protein diet plans work only because they are as low in calories as traditional diet plans. And the quick results people report often come from short-term shedding of water weight— an effect seen with any low-calorie diet.

Authors of low-carb, high-protein diet plans exaggerate the impacts of more moderate carbohydrate intake to justify their extreme prescriptions. Low-carb, high-protein diets drain energy because they derive only 35-40 percent of calories from carb's. Moderate-carbohydrate diets derive 50-60 percent of calories from nutrient-dense carb's (high-fiber, nutrient-dense vegetables, beans, and whole grains). They're proven to work, while reducing the risks of chronic diseases.

Extreme Low-Fat Diets: Dean Ornish, Nathan Pritkin, and others who promote extremely low-fat diets claim they reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. These diets— in which only 10 percent to 15 percent of dietary calories come from fat— may help clear clogged arteries, but they're very hard to maintain. Most people need a higher level of dietary fat, leaving Ornish/Pritikin adherents in a constant state of craving. Extreme Low-Fat Diets also lack enough of the "good," polyunsaturated fats needed for heart health, brain function, and many other critical aspects of health.
