Why is it worth responding to hunger?
Usually a feeling of hunger occurs under the influence of biochemical processes - the level of sugar or fatty acids in the blood decreases. If you ignore the signal of the body at this time, then for a while, perhaps, there will be a little fun, but then a fit of hunger will attack you with renewed vigor. In this case, even a dense meal will not help - thoughts about the contents of the refrigerator will come back again and again.
And the thing is in the natural protective mechanism, which is to blame for all our foiled diets. Therefore, having felt hunger, respond to it - this way you can avoid overeating. However, it is important not to confuse real hunger with the usual desire to eat something tasty because of boredom or spleen.
Interesting statistics: only 30% of women under the influence of stress begin to eat a lot and get better, the remaining 70% have strong feelings, on the contrary, can lead to loss of appetite.
How to "freeze the worm"?
What definitely does not drown out a strong hunger is sweets. If you replace normal food with chocolate or a slice of cake, the body will begin to intensively produce insulin to absorb glucose received with carbohydrates. However, after a rapid rise in its level, a sharp decline follows, which, in turn, provokes a new attack of hunger. Thus, about half an hour after the tasty meal, the appetite will again remind of itself. To satisfy hunger it is better to give preference to products containing slow carbohydrates (cereals, whole grain bread and pasta, vegetables).
