Sometimes, I see calories burned as calories to consume "for free." Ha! But, when I'm doing Bikram or other hot yoga, I just WANT to eat so healthy--I crave good-for-you stuff instead of junk! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-exercising-make-you-want-to-eat-healthier#post-1609628 Fri, 02 May 2014 17:18:31 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 1609628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babyjmama: this exactly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-exercising-make-you-want-to-eat-healthier#post-1609625 Fri, 02 May 2014 17:17:33 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1609625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was really good about it, I wanted to eat clean so I could really see the results of my workouts, instead of working out to burn off the crap I just ate. </p> <p>@lawbee11: LOL yup! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-exercising-make-you-want-to-eat-healthier#post-1609536 Fri, 02 May 2014 16:30:07 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 1609536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For me, if I'm dieting and counting calories, I tend to exercise more because I'm paying attention to calories in vs calories out. If I'm not paying attention to what I eat, I don't make the extra effort to exercise. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-exercising-make-you-want-to-eat-healthier#post-1609442 Fri, 02 May 2014 15:58:04 +0000 meredithNYC 1609442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Absolutely! It's all or nothing for me, unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-exercising-make-you-want-to-eat-healthier#post-1609410 Fri, 02 May 2014 15:46:12 +0000 blackbird 1609410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes.

So when I'm not exercising I'm just tubbing it up with food on the couch. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-exercising-make-you-want-to-eat-healthier#post-1609142 Fri, 02 May 2014 13:50:39 +0000 Freckles 1609142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: While i agree with @Mrs. High Heels: book excerpt, i have been reading this interesting book (The Cure for Everything) which states that people eat more because exercise makes them hungrier and they also justify that they deserve it because they exercised. I wish it weren't the case though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-exercising-make-you-want-to-eat-healthier#post-1609093 Fri, 02 May 2014 13:31:33 +0000 PurplePumps 1609093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! If I'm working that hard to be more fit and lose weight, I dont want to ruin it by not eating better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-exercising-make-you-want-to-eat-healthier#post-1609056 Fri, 02 May 2014 13:16:14 +0000 BabyMats 1609056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definitely eat a lot healthier when I'm exercising consistently.

They talk about this in the book <i>The Power of Habit</i>.... it is considered a Keystone habit!</p> <p>“When people start habitually exercising, even as infrequently as once a week, they start changing other, unrelated patterns in their lives, often unknowingly. Typically people who exercise start eating better and becoming more productive at work. They smoke less and show more patience with colleagues and family. They use their credit cards less frequently and say they feel less stressed. It’s not completely clear why…‘Exercise spills over,’ said James Prochaska, a University of Rhode Island researcher. ‘There’s something about it that makes other good habits easier.’” (p. 109) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-exercising-make-you-want-to-eat-healthier#post-1608987 Fri, 02 May 2014 12:59:15 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1608987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. I have an awful thought process. </p> <p>I see the calories burned on my elliptical and am like YES! This is like free nachos!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-exercising-make-you-want-to-eat-healthier#post-1608983 Fri, 02 May 2014 12:58:57 +0000 Mae 1608983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep I am very all or nothing generally. If I'm working out I don't want to ruin it with bad food. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-exercising-make-you-want-to-eat-healthier#post-1608972 Fri, 02 May 2014 12:55:48 +0000 Smurfette 1608972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes cause I don't want to undo what I just burned. But then no cause I think well I burned so many calories, these won't count. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-exercising-make-you-want-to-eat-healthier#post-1608947 Fri, 02 May 2014 12:50:45 +0000 mrbee 1608947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>On the one hand, I do want to eat clean when I'm working out a lot. But on the other hand, I feel like I should be able to eat whatever I want. Net net, I probably eat less healthy when I'm exercising. Sad.</p> <p>Does exercising make you want to eat healthier? </p>
