You’ve had too much food. You should feel full now. You shouldn’t even want to see a dish on your table. But what is that? You still want to eat insanely. What could be the reason? Dietitians informed on feeling hungry constantly and its reasons. You should read these 9 possible reasons before you look at what’s in the fridge.
1
You may not be getting enough protein during the day. Protein plays an important role in appetite control by regulating hunger hormones. In a study, it was found that overweight individuals who consumed 25 percent of their calories during the day had less snacks at night than those who consumed less protein.
2
You may not be sleeping enough. Inadequate sleep increases the appetite-stimulating hormone ghrelin, which makes you feel hungry. Sleeping is required for at least 8 hours to keep the hunger level under control.
3
You may be consuming too much refined carbohydrates. Refined carbohydrates lose fiber, vitamins and mineral values because they are processed and therefore cause you to get hungry quickly because they raise and lower blood sugar quickly.
4
You may not be consuming enough fat. Fat is difficult to digest and increases the production of satiety hormones.
5
You may not be drinking enough water. Water consumed before meals reduces appetite.
6
You may not be consuming enough fiber. Foods with high fiber content keep appetite under control as it takes a long time to digest.
7
You may be consuming too much alcohol. Alcohol inhibits the production of hormones that reduce appetite, such as leptin.
8
You may be extremely stressed. Excessive stress increases the appetite because it increases cortisol hormone.
9
You may be eating fast. Eating too fast prevents the feeling of satiety.
