If I eat yoghurt or oatmeal I’ll usually still be hungry but let’s say I eat a pizza, a burger or a steak, I’ll feel full. What determines this?
In: Biology
It’s actually very complex and depends on hormones released by your body, your mood, your environment, how full your stomach is, your genetics, the macronutrients in the food and how quickly they are digested and even what time of day it is!
We all know that feeling of yes, being full, then someone offers you a delicious looking desert, and suddenly you have room for it. Or eating something snacky while you are distracted and you can completely overeat and be unaware of it.
Hormones like Ghrelin and Leptin can make you feel hungry or full, sensors in the stomach can tell you how full your body is, delicious smells and sights can trigger a hungry response etc
