HW 17: Jezebel

I chose to respond to a blog on Jezebel's website:

When I looked at Jezebel's website I really liked it. I found myself reading way more than just one story. They were all really interesting too. However I chose to summarize about the blog under the top BIG FAT LIES, Does Exercise make you hungry instead of thin? http://jezebel.com/gossip/big-fat-lies/does-exercise-make-you-hungry-instead-of-thinThis topic just popped out at me, and to be honest made me nervous. As a college freshman girl, the freshman 15 is a constant reminder in the back of my head. The article says that working out is good for your health and does make you feel better for yourself. However, working out does burn large amounts of calories and carbs which can make you a little more hungryafter exercising."Taubes admits that working out is great for your health, but, "the one thing that might be said about exercise with certainty is that it tends to makes us hungry." He suggests that what really determines how fat or lean a person is has more to do with the body's own internal programming."-Gary Taubes. I disagree with his theory. There is a large amount of people who have lost significant amounts of weight from working out. In conclusion I do find this article informative. It does give you a different insight on exercising.
