Tuesday Top 8 – Reasons Why You Could Still Be Hungry After Eating

So you wake up in the morning and head to work and you didn't eat breakfast.  Well, this could be potentially devastating over the course of your day.  Since you are more hungry from not starting your day correctly, your body will want more and more food throughout the day.

The list below is compiled of eight different reasons why you may still be hungry after eating.  Because what  you are eating could perhaps make you hungry in a short amount of time.  It all has to do with what is in the food you are eating.  In the list you'll see things like - High Fructose Corn Syrup, BPA and Folate.  All of these apparently make you hungry quickly after you eat.  Take a look and see if you should change your diet around.

Tuesday Top 8

1.  You drink too much soda.  High-fructose corn syrup in sodas can suppress the hormones that tell your body when you've had enough to eat.  Compared to regular sugar, drinks high in fructose make you feel more hungry.

2.  You're eating canned food.  Canned foods often have a lot of BPA, a chemical that can cause hormonal imbalances that lead to food cravings.

3.  You had a small breakfast.  A long-term study showed that people who ate 300 calories or less at breakfast gained more weight than people who ate 500 calories or more.  The people eating small breakfasts would get hungrier throughout the day.

4.  You're not eating enough salad.  Leafy green vegetables are high in folate and vitamin K, both of which help control your appetite in different ways.  Folate protects against depression and fatigue, and vitamin K regulates insulin.

5.  You're not drinking tea.  Black tea has chemicals that fight food cravings, and make you feel full for a longer period after eating.

6.  You're not drinking enough water.  Dehydration often feels like hunger.  Try drinking glass of water before you eat, and see whether your appetite goes away.

7.  You're bored.  Australian scientists found that visual distractions can help fight food cravings.  If you get hungry when you shouldn't be, try watching TV or going outside.

8.  You're eating cold cereal.  One study found that oatmeal left people feeling fuller than the same sized bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios.  It could be because the oatmeal is thicker, or because it has more oat fiber than most ready-to-eat cereals.
