WHY DO YOU ALWAYS FEEL HUNGRY?

WHY DO YOU ALWAYS FEEL HUNGRY? 

* YOU'RE NOT EATING ENOUGH PROTEIN OR FIBER: Meals low in protein or fiber digest quickly and don’t keep you full. These nutrients slow digestion and keep you satisfied longer.

* TOO MANY REFINED CARBS OR SUGAR: Foods like white bread, sugary snacks, or soda cause blood sugar spikes and crashes. This triggers more hunger shortly after eating.

* YOU’RE DEHYDRATED: Sometimes the body confuses thirst for hunger.

* LACK OF SLEEP: Poor sleep increases ghrelin (the hunger hormone) and decreases leptin (the fullness hormone).

* YOU’RE STRESSED OR EMOTIONAL: Stress raises cortisol, which increases appetite—especially for high-fat, high-sugar foods. Emotional hunger comes on suddenly and craves specific comfort foods.

* YOU EAT TOO QUICKLY: It takes about 20 minutes for your brain to register that you're full.

* MEDICAL REASONS: Certain conditions like diabetes, thyroid issues (hyperthyroidism), or hormonal imbalances can cause constant hunger.
