Why Are You Hungry After Eating?

What are the 5 reasons why we are hungry after eating:

Skip breakfast

Those of you who do not eat a good breakfast or skip this essential meal will probably have your sugar levels rise throughout the day, creating a feeling of continuous hunger. The trick is to make sure you eat breakfast correctly, eating fiber and protein. This will help you keep feeling full throughout the day.

Drink soft drinks

Drinking soda, juice, and other beverages high in sugar can reduce your blood flow and brain activity. Fructose in particular can trick your brain into thinking your body needs more food when you just ate. So avoid soft drinks especially at meal times, as they are essentially empty calories and provide no nutritional benefit.

You are dehydrated

Sometimes we can be dehydrated and not know it. When you are a little dehydrated you will feel the same way as when you are hungry and most of the time it is difficult to differentiate two such similar sensations. When you feel hungry after eating, try drinking a glass of water and see how you feel in 15 minutes.

You haven’t eaten enough green.

Leafy greens like spinach, kale, and chard are rich in folic acid, which will help protect against weight gain and fatigue. They are also rich in vitamin K, which helps reduce food cravings by regulating blood sugar.

Make sure that eating green will fill you up and also provide your body with the nutrients it needs. Be generous with the amount!

Boredom

Sometimes you’re not hungry, just bored. If you have eaten a good dinner consisting of fiber, protein, and salad then you should feel satisfied. However, if you are bored you may feel “hungry” because you are looking for a distraction and something to do. My advice is to go for a walk after dinner, which will help stimulate digestion.

If you can’t or don’t want to go for a walk, find another activity that will occupy your hands, like reading a book or organizing the house.
