Some people when leaving the house check to see whether we have forgotten the keys and you check the snack. What happens to you.
“It would be better not to see how angry you become when you’re hungry. You think eat enough, but how much you stuffed in yourself, you are constantly maddening hunger. What happened to you?” – the expert asks Olivia Tarantino in the column for Motto.
It turns out that hunger is a pretty complex function and is influenced by both biological and psychological factors (and there’s the devil’s food, causing hunger).Olivia Tarantino calls some of the most common, scientifically based reasons why you are constantly hungry.
1. You eat a lot of refined carbohydrates
If your day looks something like this: sugary cereal for Breakfast, a slice of pizza or a sandwich on white bread for lunch, chips for snacks, white rice or pasta for dinner, and then chocolate chip cookies for dessert, your problem is that you constantly feed yourself with refined carbohydrates. They burn very quickly in the body, first increasing the level of sugar in the blood, and then leading to his downfall. Low glucose levels and triggers hunger.
2. Actually you are thirsty
Look at a glass of water made you forget about what seemed to be hunger? Studies show that people inappropriately respond to thirst, about 60% of cases. The fact that your hunger and thirst is regulated by the hypothalamus, and sometimes the signals are mixed.
That’s why, when you are terribly hungry, drink a glass of water and wait 20 minutes. If hunger remains, unable to eat.
3. You eat while watching TV
Everyone knows that it is important to see the food, but, it turns out, your ears also play a role. Studies show that the sounds accompanying the meal, have an impact on shaping our eating habits. The people distracted from the sound of eating, eat more.
4. You are constantly experiencing stress
Stress increases levels of the hormone epinefrine, also known as adrenaline, which puts your body in the mode of “fight or flight”. After that, the adrenal gland increases production of a hormone called coristol that activates your hormones of hunger.
When you are terribly hungry, first drink a glass of water and wait 20 minutes.
5. You don’t get enough sleep
If you sleep not enough, the falling level of leptin, the hormone responsible for the feeling of satiety.
6. You count the calories, not the nutrients
Satiate your hunger, not calories and nutrients: fiber, proteins and healthy fats. Most snacks that contain 100 calories, they are lacking. That’s why you always eat, but remain sluggish and hungry.
7. You eat too fast
The hormones of hunger you need 20-30 minutes to reach the brain, so if you eat dinner in 5 minutes, you are likely to eat more than you need.
8. Your stream is full of Instagram photos of food
It turns out that to scroll on smartphone photos of food almost as bad as and look for pictures of food especially as these photos increase our hunger.
9. Are you drinking diet drinks
Soda – diet or not – one of the most full-sugar beverages that you can imagine. And sugar makes you want more sugar.
10. You skip meals
This point may seem obvious, but it is not about what you eat is not enough. Skipping food causes you to experience greater hunger when eating.
