Swimming and appetite

[lala1]

For those of you who swim: do you find that your appetite increases on days that you swim? It seems that after I swim my laps, I just am hungry and want to eat all day long! And I usually do I also feel I have a better workout in a shorter amt of time...anything to this or is it just me?

Lala - Anytime I swim laps (acutally anytime I swim period), I am absolutely ravenous afterwards. Not sure of the reason, but I have always been like that. You're not alone!

I've been a daily lap swimmer for 27 years now. When I first started, I was STARVING when I finished and had to eat. But it hasn't been like that in years, many years. Probably the first 6 months to year I was like that but not any more. Sometimes I don't eat for several hours after I swim.
