Have you ever eaten a full meal, only to feel hungry<\/strong> an hour later? Do you find your day consists of constantly noshing on snacks and never feeling satisfied?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turns out, there are many factors that could be contributing to your constant urge to eat. <\/strong>While each individual’s case is different, numerous certified nutritionists and doctors <\/strong>have narrowed the list to five main culprits<\/strong> for our surprising hunger. <\/strong>Thankfully, many of these causes are easily fixed with simple changes to our diet and habits. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your Sleep is Slacking<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Sleepy<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In case you needed another reason to hit the hay at a reasonable hour <\/strong>each night, sleep deprivation<\/strong> is also a major culprit for causing you to feel hungry. <\/strong>Getting less than the recommended sleep<\/strong> causes a drop in the levels of leptin produced by the body, the hormone that tells our brains we are full. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As if that weren\u2019t enough, a lack of sleep<\/strong> also negatively affects two other hormones, ghrelin and cortisol. Ghrelin\u2019s main function is to alert the brain whenever we are hungry.<\/strong> Cortisol is the hormone linked to stress,<\/strong> and has a multitude of effects on the body, which includes wanting to constantly eat. Just one bad night of sleep <\/strong>can cause a spike in both ghrelin and cortisol levels, meaning major hunger cravings<\/strong><\/a>! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To avoid all the bad hormonal consequences triggered by a poor night\u2019s sleep, <\/strong>aim for a regular bedtime<\/strong> each night. If you have trouble falling asleep, try adding some meditation exercises<\/strong> into your nightly routine, and avoid screens close to bed time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blame the Booze<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Drinking<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ever notice after throwing back a few drinks<\/strong> while out with friends<\/strong>, you almost always feel hungry <\/strong>afterwards? While alcohol<\/strong> adds up in calories, it has the reverse effect on your brain, causing it to send signals to the rest of your body that you are starving. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the fact you might be consuming sufficient calories<\/strong> with alcoholic drinks<\/a> included, your body is tricked into thinking otherwise. Suzanne Dixon, a dietician from Florida, recommends getting more calories from <\/a>nutrient filled food<\/a><\/strong> and cutting back on the booze<\/strong> to start feeling full again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Troubling Sweet Tooth<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Sugary<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Although sugary sweets<\/strong> like cakes, breads, and soda can serve that quick craving fix<\/strong>, these refined carbohydrates do more of a disservice than just empty calories. The high sugar<\/strong> content in these foods causes rapid changes in blood sugar<\/strong>, which may make you feel satisfied in the moment, but causes you to feel intense hunger later.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This doesn\u2019t mean you have to say goodbye to your beloved carbohydrates for good, but eating more balanced foods<\/strong> with higher protein content can help you to avoid the sugar rush.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hungry or Not Hydrated?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Glass<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Often times when we think we are feeling hungry,<\/strong> we are actually just experiencing dehydration<\/strong>! A simple way to test if that hunger pang<\/strong> is actually thirst is by sipping a glass of water and waiting 15 minutes. If your hunger magically disappears- you can thank hydration<\/strong> for that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another easy way to keep hydrated all day is by eating more fruits and vegetables<\/strong>, many of which are loaded in nutrients and water.<\/strong> Watermelon, strawberries, and cucumbers are all great, tasty sources to keep you hydrated and feeling less hungry.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ditch the Dieting<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Unhappy<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

With summer upon us and the urge to quickly get that beach body, it’s tempting to resort to extreme diets. Nutritionists <\/strong>say this is a serious mistake, for our bodies need a certain number of calories each day <\/strong>to function properly and avoid fatigue. The more tired we are, the hungrier we get\u2026 and the more the cravings kick in.<\/strong> Additionally, consuming too little food actually slows down our metabolism<\/strong>– making it that much harder to shed those extra pounds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are trying to lose some weight<\/strong> and not go crazy from hunger<\/strong>, the best advice is to aim for a solid balance of proteins, fats and carbs<\/strong> in your diet. Don\u2019t be afraid to reward yourself and still eat some of your favorite treats- the cravings<\/strong> will subside with everything in moderation!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
