For us, hunger is a situation that no one wants to happen, but that we say is inevitable. While some want royal tables with a variety of dishes to satisfy their hunger, some turn their hunger into fullness with tables that they say will satisfy their hunger no matter what, in other words, they fill their stomach.
In fact, with the decrease in glycogen stores in the liver, various hormones are activated and in us. A feeling of hunger occurs. Thus, the brain gives us the command "eat" in accordance with the signal.
We misunderstand this natural and necessary command and go beyond that command by attacking. How true is the saying, "Even if the camel's load is heavy, it will seem small to the hungry." We now see our hunger as a disease. We act as if hunger is something that should never exist. However, it is a biological event that occurs in the body and tells us what we need to do.
First, let's correct a big mistake about hunger; Hunger and satiety are natural events experienced by the body. When you feel hungry, stay calm and consume what you need.
The fear especially in people who have started or will start a diet is "Will I stay hungry?" Diet is a practice in which all conditions of the person's body are evaluated and the appropriate amount and type of nutrients are provided for the person. It contains all the nutrients you need to help you live your life in a healthy way.
You started a diet and feel hungry. So, first of all, ask yourself if you are consuming the meals written in the diet list on time, consuming all the types of meals in the meals, and complying with the measurements of the types written in the meals, and follow these. Besides; Also review parameters such as water consumption, adequate movement, stress, regular and adequate sleep and see which one has the problem. If there is no problem with these, then let's expand the subject further.
In our age, the number of people working is high and people, on average, spend between 08.00 and 18.30 hours of the day in traffic and at work. You do not have a quality and healthy breakfast in the morning, and the lunch you eat at work is fatty and insufficient in terms of nutrients and contains carbohydrates. A lot of meals containing plums are consumed, and not much is consumed for an average of 6-8 hours until the evening. In fact, healthy alternatives are not consumed. When it comes to dinner, it is a great consumption after a long hunger and with the comfort of coming home! It's not over. Since there is no feeling of fullness afterwards, snacking can continue throughout the night. Then, gastrointestinal problems, weight gain, fatigue, weakness, drowsiness, etc.
What should we do?
In general, maintaining blood sugar balance right in the afternoon. Having a healthy snack for the purpose of preventing serious hunger at dinner will prevent many problems with a small move. The solution is simple, for those who apply it…
To summarize briefly, hunger is a natural feeling. If you consume quality meals during the day and according to the plan I wrote and still feel hungry, I recommend you to have your insulin resistance and fasting sugar checked. In addition, the function of hunger and satiety hormones should be examined. Is there any resistance to one or more of them or a problem with the hormones? It needs to be examined in detail.
If there is no problem in these parameters, then you are psychologically (emotionally) hungry. This situation can lead you to food addiction and is the biggest cause of obesity.
Let's be aware.
Stay healthy.
