Causes of hunger after eating

The feeling of hunger is considered quite normal natural feeling, indicating that we should add energy and nutrients to the body. We eat in order to provide energy to our organs and systems, so that the body can fully work and fulfill its vital functions.

Experts analyzed human nutrition for several centuries and came to the conclusion that in the old days people were saturated with much less food than now. It used to be a clear separation of three meals a day: breakfast, lunch and dinner were obligatory, when the whole family gathered at the table. Snacks, except for tea drinking, were not accepted.

What do we have now? The abundance and variety of all kinds of food is literally at every step: not only in grocery stores and markets, but also simple stalls in the streets, cafes and restaurants, kiosks with fresh pastries, stalls with shawarma and chebureks, etc. Food can be ordered without even leaving from the house, and do not necessarily stand in the kitchen near the stove, preparing a family dinner. Rarely who today adheres to family dining traditions: snacks on the run, then candy, then chips, then cookies ... People are just used to constantly chewing something.

In addition, the rhythm of life has changed: a lot of stresses, experiences, lack of time for a normal meal. An important role is played by food production: practically everywhere, special additives stimulating the appetite are added to the person, so that the person wants to eat a delicious product again and again, despite the fact that the body needs only a small part of the food to be saturated. All this is a trick of the manufacturer, which does everything to make its products buy in large quantities and as often as possible. In such situations, it is necessary to have the iron willpower to abandon the constant intake of not quite useful and superfluous for the body food.

As a result of these reasons - gluttony, heaviness in the stomach after eating, overstretch of the stomach and a sense of guilt over the excess food eaten.

The reasons for the feeling of hunger after a seemingly sufficient dinner, a lot. Let's consider the main ones.

Why does it feel hungry after eating?

The causes of the "pit of the stomach" are diverse, and each person has his own reasons for this phenomenon. A person eats a lot to stabilize different feelings in themselves. What are the most common causes?

• Period before ovulation or menstruation, pregnancy. This period is characterized by a lack of certain hormones in the body, which are responsible for our spiritual comfort, mood and appetite. At this time, the woman pulls on sweets: not having eat the necessary and desired product, eating will be considered inferior, as if something in the body is not enough. If a woman does not get what she wants, she becomes irritable, even too much. However, everyone feels this syndrome in different ways. Feeling of insufficient saturation can last several days: a woman takes food, but without the presence of the "right" product can not reach a sense of satiety. No way to "deceive" the body with other products does not work. What can be the solution to solve the problem and not to harm the body? From sweets choose natural products: marshmallows, marmalade, dark chocolate, caramelized and fresh fruits, berry smoothies, honey with cottage cheese, etc. Do not forget to drink enough water.
• Stressful and stressful situations. This is perhaps the most frequent factor in the development of a constant sense of hunger. Many of us, upset or angry, run to the refrigerator to calm themselves down with delicious food. But, even after eating such a situation, we again and again stretch, then for candy, then for a chocolate bar. Why? Yes, because the problem that caused the stress, and remained unresolved! Experts recommend that in such cases, run not to the refrigerator, but to the pharmacy for soothing. You can also just take a walk in the fresh air, and preferably in the park or in the woods - it's cool calming (just do not take food with you). There are even similar methods of losing weight: if the patient is stressed and because of this can not adhere to a certain diet (constantly breaks down), then simultaneously with a "weight loss" diet, he is prescribed herbal soothing teas, foods with a high content of "pleasure hormones" dopamine and serotonin, as well as the help of a psychologist.
• Loads for the body: for the mind and for the body. With physical loads, everything is clear - we spent energy and we need to return it. Due to what? At the expense of food. Many people know how important it is to adhere to full nutrition with active training and sports. Mental work also requires a sufficient amount of glucose. But the difficulty is that people who work mentally, often either forget about the next meal, or, worse, absorb it unconsciously: they pull the liver over the liver, looking steadily at the monitor screen. Digressing to a computer or other important occupation, the brain thinks only of the task at hand, and does not pay attention to the simultaneous absorption of human food. As a result, the brain does not receive a signal that it is full, and we continue to eat without stopping. Even when, in the conditions of a normal full-fledged dinner, we would have been satisfied long ago. Conclusion: eat only at the dinner table, or only completely departing from the workplace without continuing during the meal to finish the report or make a presentation. For the same reason, it is not recommended to read a newspaper or watch TV while eating.
• Constant and strict diets. Agree that women rarely choose diets for weight loss, which provide for slow weight loss: for example, 1-2 kg per week. After all, I want to lose all excess weight and immediately! We choose diets that require a sharp restriction in nutrition, the total rejection of your favorite food, the use of only one line of products (the so-called "mono-diet"). Why all this leads sooner or later? To the appearance of a constant feeling of hunger and obsessive thoughts to eat, finally, what is under the ban. What is the result: We either eat a diet-approved product in incredible quantities and can not satisfy them with a feeling of hunger, or we are torn to the "forbidden fruit" and also eat it in large quantities, to the colic in the stomach, because "for so long this was wanted now the body, tired of expectations, wants to eat this for future use. " After such approaches to nutrition, we get two undesirable consequences: we break down and return with such difficulty the lost kilograms and adjust our body to the fact that some products may be in short supply, and therefore they must be stockpiled. Frequent and "harmful" failures are ensured after this. Conclusion: do not choose "fast" and hungry diets, and if you do not know how you can eat everything and lose weight, seek help from an adequate nutritionist.
• Dysbacteriosis in the intestine. It would seem, what is the connection between the intestine and the feeling of constant hunger? The answer is simple: with a dysbacteriosis in the body, the components of food can not be fully absorbed. Insufficiently digested food mass wanders in the intestines, and fermentation products are absorbed through the walls of the intestine into the bloodstream. As a result, the body receives less of the substances necessary for it, and also experiences toxins, which disrupts the normal course of metabolic processes. If you have frequent problems with defecation (constipation is replaced by diarrhea), there is increased gas formation, hunger after eating, fatigue, deterioration of the skin, hair and nails, then you should restore the intestinal microflora. Eat fresh greens, fruits and vegetables, and, of course, sour-milk products - but only fresh, not more than three days from the date of production. Drink plenty of clean water.
• Glistovye infestations. Intestinal parasites can also provoke hunger after eating. They do not allow the beneficial substances from food to enter the bloodstream, which causes the body to lack the most important substances that it is forced to demand, causing a person to feel hungry.
• Diseases of the endocrine system - diabetes, hyperthyroidism. These reasons require specialist advice. Self-medication is inappropriate here.
• Lack of some important substances in the body. This reason is also characteristic of those who adhere to a limited and too strict diet, or simply "forgets" to eat throughout the day.

If your body requires something salty, it does not always mean that you are pregnant. You can simply have sodium chloride deficiency in the body, if you, for example, long "sit" on a salt-free diet. Exit: do not eat a can of pickles in one sitting, or a large salted bream - first, it is a big burden on the kidneys, and secondly, a large amount of salt will keep the liquid in the body, after which you will turn into a large swollen colobok, and lost pounds will return in the form of fluid accumulation. Just take a small crystalline sea salt and hold it in your mouth until it completely dissolves, and the craving for the salt will pass.

If you want acidic foods - this is a sign of magnesium deficiency in the body. Do not rush to eat everything in search of the right product: bite the seeds, nuts, cook the pea or bean soup.

For fatty foods (fried chebureks, bacon, a sandwich with a lot of butter) "pulls" with calcium deficiency. Try not to be tempted by fatty foods, it is better to lean on yogurt and yogurt, milk, cottage cheese, natural cheeses.

Craving for sweets is a common dependence, may indicate a deficiency of chromium, phosphorus or sulfur. What to do? Replenish the shortage of fresh fruits, vegetables, dried fruits.

In some cases, hunger is caused by a deficiency of B vitamins, which are found in eggs, white meat, beans, liver, etc.

Assess the situations listed above and choose among them the one that is closer to you. Adhere to the above recommendations, and a constant feeling of hunger after eating will stop you from pursuing.
