The constant feeling of hunger brings a lot of discomfort to your life. Your thoughts are focused on finding food all time. Constant snacking disrupts your body and leads to weight gain. Therefore, if you want to have a healthy body with optimal weight, you need to learn to recognize the true feeling of hunger. But to fight false appetite, you need to understand what it is and the reasons for its appearance.

False hunger is not a reflection of your true need for food. When your body needs food, you are ready to eat anything. Your stomach may be cramping. But when you want something specific, usually sweet and unhealthy, then this is a false feeling of hunger.

The feeling of hunger appears gradually, while false hunger appears suddenly and strongly. When you are falsely hungry, you do not concentrate on the taste of food, but you swallow it automatically.

Decreased blood glucose is the cause of your physical hunger. When you eat any food, your glucose levels rise. As a result, you feel full. False hunger drives you to eat more and more. You may not feel full even after a large meal.

Moreover, if your body receives food without needing it, it is not beneficial but turns into fat. Your body feels the need for food when it needs to replenish its energy reserves.

Desires for pleasant emotions are the cause of false hunger. As a rule, people who live in constant stress often have a false hunger. Therefore, your hunger may not be related to the needs of your body.
