When you eat, your feeling of hunger will usually disappear. This is because the brain sends a signal that you are becoming satiated. You may notice that not only does your feeling of hunger disappear, but there is also a sense of having had enough, or sometimes even of having too much. The signaling that you are becoming satiated while eating comes from a complex system that starts with the stomach stretch sensors.
Feel full faster with more calories?
In fact, you should feel full faster with more calories, but there are other factors. One of the most well-known is that we do not register liquid calories well. This explains why soft drinks can contribute to being overweight, because they are high in calories and we can keep drinking them. In addition to the signal from the gastric stretch sensors, the feeling of satiety can also come from the macronutrients mix, but also due to the binding effect of protein.
Hunger and satiety can be trained.
The good news is that hunger and satiety can be trained. This You do this by eating regularly and subsequently keep a diary about food and satiety. What this reveals is that you can link your feeling of hunger, or rather your feeling of satiety, to the products you eat and/or drink.
Assignment: Try to keep a food diary for the next two weeks.
When doing this, record not only what you eat and drink, but also your feeling of hunger before the meal and your feeling of satiety after the meal. (0 = no hunger or not satisfied and 10 = extreme hunger and completely satisfied). By doing this, you will learn to discover for yourself which foods make you feel full sooner and stop eating, and which do not.
Tip! When tired or stressed, you are more likely to fall back into old habits or bad habits, such as overeating. Now that you know which foods make you feel more full, the advice is to focus on those products specifically when you feel tired or experience (a lot of) stress.
