I'm with you on the appetite suppression. I got into making decent coffee recently, probably from being stuck at home, and it's interesting how strong the effect is. Especially when coupled with a walk round the local park (e.g. 5k) I often don't feel hungry until mid afternoon. There is also the other reliable effect that I won't mention here!
One other thing I realised post-lockdown is just how much I relied on exercise to keep my back/posture in check. I used to climb regularly, though I slacked off on the cardio. Since quarantining, I've done a lot less resistance exercise and it really shows. One day of poor posture - e.g. hunching over a workbench, or working from a non-optimal place like bed or the couch - is enough to cause quite a lot of backache and it only really goes away after doing some exercise (far more effective in my experience than icing/heating/NSAIDs). My plan is to get back into bodyweight/calisthenics ASAP.
(Very interesting article by the way, the subway map would make a great poster)
