Biologically, that is not likely, and in fact, would be detrimental.
If that were so, people who work intensively-- such as athletes, loggers, or ice-age hunters, would eventually shrivel up to nothing. The harder they work, the more energy they expend, the less they eat. Ergo, pretty soon they're sticks.
Doesn't work that way. Increased energy expendtiture MUST increase appetite and eating. Otherwise, an intensively active lifestyle would result in malnutrition, and emaciation.

Oh sure... I agree. What I'm contending is that contrary to the TIME piece where Cloud suggests the harder you workout the hungrier you get, this is not always the case. Naturally you are going to (and should) increase your caloric intake with prolonged and otherwise intense exercise. The whole idea is that the literature does not support the idea that exercising causes hunger and certainly would not be what's preventing us from losing fat as John Cloud contends.
