Since I've started working out, I can't handle the same amount of food I did before

imnot sure what's going on but before I worked out, I could eat and eat and just load it on. now that I go to a trainer in order to lose some weight I can't eat nearly as much. like on Friday some friends and I were hanging and Fridays are my pig out days but recently I get sick when I eat too much.

before I could eat say a specific amount of food and then get sick (like a lot of food) but now I have to stop at about less than half of what I ate before or else ill throw up. why is this? I mean I kinda like that I'm having a natural reaction to eat less, but I'm just curious as to why

i would say it's probably your stomach shrinking, as your body is still adjusting to the weight you're probably losing. I bet it'll go back to normal before long, and you'll stop getting sick so easily.

by the way, your profile picture? awesome. :)

It's because your stomach has shrunk due to losing weight. Don't push food back into your system forcefully, your stomach will start stretching and you'll gain the weight back.

when you exercise your body demands food then shuts of the need, when I didn't swim I could eat and eat, now I can't its just the bodies way of saying if you eat this much it won't be able to perform the exercise you have been doing.

Your body wants what it needs. Generally processed foods and a lot of it don't have the nutrients your muscles are looking for.
