  • I usually enjoy my gym routine and feel better after I go. Going regularly helps keep me in shape for hiking and biking. I've read that working out is supposed to suppress your appetite, but I tend to be hungrier and rationalize eating more after workouts. I see better weight loss results when I'm a couch potato but am…
