Reasons why you feel hungry even after meal and how to stop it

 Feeling hungry is a common problem for people worldwide.

If you often find yourself hungry after eating, try implementing some of the evidence-based suggestions below to help curb your appetite.

Not eating enough food.

In some situations, you may feel hungry after eating simply because you didn’t eat enough during the day.

What I see the most of is people simply eating too little to sustain themselves through the day.

Feeling stressed. 

Stress raises the hormone cortisol, which may promote hunger and cravings. 

Eating too quickly. 

Research suggests that fast eaters tend to feel less full than slow eaters due to a lack of chewing and awareness, which are linked to feelings of fullness. If you’re a fast eater, aim to chew your food more thoroughly.

You are not drinking enough water.

Water takes up space in your stomach, so it automatically makes you feel fuller. But it also helps keep you satisfied because it swells the fiber you’ve eaten.

You waited too long to eat.

If someone waits too long to eat, sometimes they feel a lot hungrier. So if they eat their typical meal, it won’t leave them satisfied.

Not eating enough protein.

it’s not a lot to fill you up and keep you satisfied, It takes four to six hours to digest

If you don’t find yourself feeling full during or immediately after a meal, try incorporating more foods that are high in volume but low in calories.

These foods, such as most fresh vegetables, fruits, air-popped popcorn, shrimp, chicken breast, and turkey, tend to have greater air or water content. Also, drinking water before or with meals adds volume to the meal and may further promote fullness

Summary.

You may feel hungry after eating due to a lack of protein or fiber in your diet, not eating enough high volume foods, hormone issues like leptin resistance, or behavioral and lifestyle choices. Try implementing some of the suggestions above.
