Comment on Ask HN: Have you hacked your nutrition?

Comments

Before 2011, I'd never been athletic and I don't naturally have a runner's build, but this year I started entering road races - first a 10K, then a half-marathon, and now a marathon. By committing to running the race, I am incentivized to train hard.

That's a roundabout way of saying that I do a lot of exercise. I can't recommend this highly enough for so many reasons, but to answer your question, one particular benefit is that I've found this regulates my appetite to the point where I eat only the calories that I need.

Yeah, it really does come down to just exercising. There aren't any shortcuts. I shoot for at least 5 times a week.

I just ran my first marathon and it felt GREAT. Totally worth 4.5 months of training.
