i read some short article in a girlie fashion magazine the other day that a woman's metabolism will speed up right after the workout. there was some study they did on women in scottsdale, az that they used to promote the claim. of course, they used the info to say that women can eat a fudgecycle or some other extra piece of junk food on days they train and not gain weight.. but nonetheless.. is it true that your metabolism "speeds up" right after the workout? i sure hope so, cuz i'm shoveling down my post-workout meal as i type this (**a salad, not a fudgecycle **)
