Sometimes, you may find yourself hungry even after you eat for no reason but wait for this feeling there are so many reasons. Today I will mention some reasons behind hunger feeling.
First, you are not filling up your meals. You need to have a plate of complex carbs, protein and healthy fats and dont forget to add fiber to your plate. The last, curb appetite and fight hunger. Picking up just a plate of cucumber or pasta wont feel up your stomach.
Secondly,you are stressed. Maybe this is due to work schedule or family problems but at the end the result will be a high level of cotrisol and ghrelin both stimulates hunger and especially carbs. So learn some relaxation strategies like walking or talking with a friend.
Thirdly, you’re exhausted. Working for long hours stimulate ghrelin hormones so if you suffer from a chronic exhaustion consult your doctor as you may have sleep apnea.
Fourth point,you’re looking at too much food porn. If you spend the day scrolling through Instagram posts about milkshakes topped with candy topped with pretzels, the fact is, you’re going to get hungry. In fact, researchers are finding that simply viewing pictures of food can make your brain feel famished.
Fifthly, you feel boring and in fact you re ot hungry so you just make round around the kitchen to find some food.
Sixth point, you may be insulin resistant. If you truly find you’re hungry all the time and it’s not related to any of the reasons above check with your doctor to see if you have insulin resistance.
Finally, you’re eating your food in the wrong order. Using some meals like salads rich in vegetables and protein could result in the feeling of fullness and prevent high glucose level after the meal.
