Shouldn’t your body just give you the stop signal and make you not overeat? Then why do people get fat at all?
In: Biology
Overconsumption can over time stretch out the stomach, marking it harder to feel full. Eating calorie dense foods, eating too fast and drinking calories are also easy ways for your body to miss the “I’m full” signal.
I could eat a giant bowl of vegetables and feel very full without having concerns that Ive wrecked my diet or risk putting on weight. Alternatively if go and get a medium caramel mocha latte and croissant at Starbucks I won’t feel very full but I’ll definitely have eaten nearly half my calories for the day and all of the sugar and fat. If I do that very often, I can easily get overweight without feeling like I’ve over eaten.
