Hungry hungry black hole

I'm starting to get pretty cheesed off because whenever I do my track work or exercise significantly, I can't stop eating the next couple of days. I was on the track for maybe 20 minutes at the most yesterday doing my sprint work, but I ate and ate and ate yesterday and I can do the same today. It doesn't matter what I eat or how much because I'm still hungry.

Bro - That is weird that your body enters "starvation mode." Does that happen to others when they start exercising? I get it the black hole hunger occasionally, but usually only after I have taken a significant bike ride or played soccer.

I think it's a strange combination of rapid weight loss and shifting metabolism. As long as I don't overeat, my body should gradually adjust to my new diet and exercise regime. We're designed to minimize the impact of rapid changes.
