Causes of Excessive Hunger

When you’re overly hungry, it feels as though you could eat a horse every hour. These could be occurring for a few different reasons:

Dietary factors: It’s possible that you’re not getting enough protein, fiber, or healthy fats. It’s possible that you’re surviving off of processed foods and skipping meals, neither of which will satisfy you for very long. Dehydration can also subtly induce hunger when all you actually need is a glass of water.

Hormone imbalances: It’s possible that your body’s chemical messages are not quite in balance. Diabetes can cause your body to have trouble utilizing the sugar in your blood, which can make you feel hungry all the time. Low blood sugar, or hypoglycemia, could additionally make you feel like you’re always hungry. When you have hyperthyroidism, your metabolism is accelerated, which can cause an insatiable appetite. And, well, pregnancy can intensify hunger signals if you’re carrying a tiny bundle of joy.

Lifestyle factors: Sleep deprivation alters your hormones that control appetite, causing you to seek snacks even when you’re not actually hungry. And let’s talk about stress—it affects your stomach just as it affects your mind. Prolonged stress can raise your cortisol levels, which might make you want to eat everything you see. Additionally, be mindful of any drugs you are taking, as certain ones may cause a side effect of increased hunger.

How To Know If You’re Really Hungry?

It can be difficult to distinguish between a true hunger pang and a simple need for anything to divert your attention. Here’s how to distinguish between the two:

  • Pangs of true hunger: Your body signals that it needs food when you are truly hungry. You can feel physically lightheaded or exhausted, or you might feel your stomach churning. True hunger, as opposed to particular cravings, tends to develop gradually and can be satiated by a wide range of meals.
  • Emotional eating or boredom snacking: On the other hand, emotional eating and boredom snacking are not motivated by a sense of bodily hunger. It’s more about looking for solace or a diversion from feelings such as boredom, stress or sadness. You may find yourself mindlessly eating without truly focusing on whether you’re full or looking for particular comfort foods.

So how can you become an investigator of hunger and tell the difference between the two? Let’s talk about mindful eating methods:

  • Check in with your body: Take a moment to consider if you’re actually hungry or if you’re just trying to divert your attention before reaching for a snack. Pay attention to any bodily cues that tell you you’re hungry.
  • Evaluate your cravings: If you find yourself reaching for a certain food, consider if your body actually requires it or whether you’re just satisfying a comfort or pleasure-seeking want.
  • Ear slowly and mindfully: When you do decide to eat, take your time, enjoy every meal, and be aware of how your body feels. Eat slowly and deliberately. Once you become pleasantly full, stop eating. Pay attention to when you begin to feel satiated.
  • Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water since sometimes hunger might pass for thirst. Throughout the day, make sure you’re drinking enough water to stay hydrated and avoid mindless munching.

Tips For Hunger Management

  • Fuel up smart: Fill your plate with balanced meals high in protein, fiber, and healthy fats to keep you content for longer.
  • Stay hydrated: Keep your water bottle nearby and sip throughout the day to avoid dehydration-induced hunger.
  • Get enough sleep: Prioritize quality sleep and discover ways to manage stress to keep hunger hormones under control.
  • Seek expert advice. When in doubt, see a qualified dietician or healthcare professional to assist you negotiate your hunger issues.
