1. Exercise helps you eat well.

This is so goddamn true, there is a magical threshold of enough exercise where you suddenly just start craving healthier food and lose interest in junk.

I have been across this threshold multiple times in my adult life and it’s always really fascinating.

I think this threshold is as much to do with mood as it is body requirements.

Regular exercise is a mild antidepressant, and many people who do not realise they are a bit depressed and comfort-eating may no longer find the need.

This feels eminently plausible. There's a lot of subtly connected systems at play here.
