    After working out I feel both exhausted and horny. I think it's because when doing any kind of exercise it helps release those "feel good hormones" in your brain- the name of this chemical has left me at the moment. After working out, despite being tired- catching up on my breaths- I feel good and it makes me feel better about myself and lifts my spirits. In turn, it also turns be on because I feel good, my brain feels good and so over all, my entire body is in a good mood. :)

    Half the people in this thread are checking your location to see if they can figure out which gym you go to now ....

    Working out makes you hungry? Another person started a thread saying it made them horny. Am I missing something? What the hell do you people do in the gym? After a workout I feel sick, dizzy, nauseous and exhausted. I feel disgusting and need a shower. I feel drained and could use a cup of coffee and I'm thirsty; so very damned thirsty even though I drink about half a gallon during the workout. You people must be going to some kind of luxury gym where you get pedicures.


    Oh hell! This made me laugh! I feel the same when I work out! LOL

    Ha! I concentrate on not projectile vomiting against the windshield as I drive home.

    What's with the vomiting comments today?? :tongue:

    UR body is clearly needing more. Could be your not consuming enough, in which case ur body will go into starvation mode & actually cling to fat for dear life. Or. ur not fueling ur body w/the right things. I used to snack all night, til I found the right supplement/ meal replacement shake. Now that I'm getting proper nutrition, I stay satisfied.

    I am going thru this myself and it's really rough. I am constantly hungry...and I mean constantly. Definitely go ahead and eat something, just make healthy choices. I always reach for a protein or a veg.

    Before a workout, I eat a bit of protein with a complex carb. After workout, I eat more protein and an easily assimilated carb like some fruit. Rarely, I will drink a protein shake after a workout.

    I always keep cut up veggies and salad ready to go in the fridge. I always have hard boiled eggs on hand along with cottage cheese and greek yogurt.
