📣 6 Reasons why you may be feeling hungry even though you just ate... If you’ve ever gotten back from a 🍽 meal to find yourself already feeling like you need more, you get it – and boy, is it frustrating! You just ate, “how on earth is it possible that I’m already hungry AGAIN?”. 📣 Here are six reasons you could be feeling hungry even though you ate. (1) YOU’RE NOT EATING ENOUGH FIBER 🍏 Fiber is key to filling you up and keeping you feeling full, yet the vast majority of people don’t eat enough of the good stuff. . Fiber is indigestible, so foods that contain fiber take longer to digest than foods that don’t (like refined carbs). In effect, eating foods high in fiber slows the digestion process down. This helps to prevent the blood sugar spikes and crashes that can drive you to crave more and keeps you feeling fuller for longer. (2) YOUR MEAL LACKED PROTEIN🍳 Protein is satiating; it helps you feel fuller without having to eat more. This is in part because protein isn’t digested very quickly. (3) YOU DIDN’T GET ENOUGH SLEEP LAST NIGHT 💤 the amount and quality of your sleep also affects those hunger and satiety hormones, ghrelin, and leptin. After a good night of sleep, these hormones work as they’re supposed to, making us hungry when it’s time to eat and telling us to put the fork down when we’re full. (4) YOU’RE NOT ACTUALLY HUNGRY – YOU’RE 💧THIRSTY💧 Sometimes, our hunger is really thirst in disguise. The symptoms of dehydration mimic those of hunger. We haven’t been drinking enough H2O and thus we feel like we’re hungry; we feel weak, cranky and tired, and think oh, I must be hungry. (6) YOU’RE RUNNING ON NOTHING 🫠 Rumbling tummy, your body knows that the current sweat-session isn’t the last activity for which you’re going to need energy and thus wants to refuel in preparation for the next activity. The result: you feel hungry... Solution, combine a high fiber high protein post workout breakfast to help you feel fuller for longer. #ffactorapproved #whyamihungry #eatmorenotless #hungry #hangry #muscle #protein #healthyfats
