"A Combo That Curbs Your Appetite" is an article from RealAge about what exercise combo seems to work best for curbing your appetite. Here's a snippet of it:

Pump It Up, Run It Off . . . and Eat Less
When men in one small study combined aerobic exercise with weight training for 16 weeks, they ate significantly fewer calories compared with the men who did either aerobics or weight training alone or who did no exercise at all. The researchers suspect that the combo of cardio and strength exercises had the most favorable effect on blood levels of fats, glucose, amino acids, and satiety hormones -- producing a powerful combination of hunger-controlling physiological changes.

Even though the study was done with men, if you're only doing one of these (cardio or strength training), it might be time to consider adding the other!

Thanks for posting this Laurie.

It is a very timely message for me as I am evaluating how to begin excercising after being sedentary for so long.

I think I may start with an evaluation and recommendation from a personal trainer in my area.
