Psycho hunger

Why do we feel hungry?

The answer is obvious; we need to get nutrients to stay alive. Hunger is the impulse for us to be able to know that we need to find the nutrients required for our body. There are many theories are postulated to illustrate about hunger mechanism. The glucostatic hypothesis states that glucose difference in the human body is the effective determinant for initiating hunger. The low availability of glucose levels in blood means the body needs to replenish, the brain sends signals to the stomach which results in hunger signals. The Russian physiologist Pavlov established that the discharge of enzymes and secretions essential for the digestion and metabolism of ingested food could be conditioned, i.e. learned. Drazen et al. has reported that the release of ghrelin, considered to be involved in food initiation and energy homeostasis can also be 'learned'. This discovery not only expands the existing conceptualization of the physiological role of ghrelin but also emphasizes a significant but often disregarded factor causing the regulation of food ingestion and body adiposity and that is 'learning'.

So learn to eat well.

The hunger contraction can be felt in different ways as plainness, acid or 'sounds' in the stomach etc. If we overlook the signal, the body discontinues acid production temporarily and hunger dissipates for some time. The second signal is somewhat stronger as the body's way of screaming, 'Hey dude, it's time to dine.'

But this is not about discussing mechanism of hunger instead it's 'learning about why not to eat'.

Research has reported that almost half of all adults wander in the kitchen and grab all kinds of snacks to suppress feelings of boredom or to deal with a negative mood. Most of them eat out of boredom. If you're really hungry go ahead and eat. You shouldn't just eat because you have nothing else to do.

Psycho hunger is an unusual condition when your brain fools you or you misread the signals sent to you as hunger. Psycho hunger has an effect in the person's psychology also. They have a tendency to be complacent and they procrastinate if they feel stressed. The most predominant negative emotion for these kinds of people is over attachment or greed. They may be stubborn, lethargic and dull.

Fight the instinct, don't surrender to it.

• Several times we feel hungry when we're in fact thirsty. The next time you feel like munching on biscuits or reaching a candy bar, just toss down a glass of water instead.
• If you really have to eat, then have something of low calorie & nourishing like banana or carrots...and eat in a relaxed manner. Avoid candy, cakes, cookies and rich puddings.
• This hunger attacks you 1 or 2 hours after the meal for the reason that you haven't had right kind of food. Sugary foods are digested fast; consume more high fiber foods. Recent studies suggest that high fiber food in diets retard the absorption of cholesterol and decrease its level in blood.
• A cup of chicken soup which provides only 100-200 calories or a serve of natural peanut butter after your meal makes your meal fuller or longer.
• If you are unable to resist the temptation to go for a snack, then chew gum and do simple exercises or cleaning. Make yourself busy by going for a walk or watching TV.
• Much of late night snacking after dinner can be avoided by having a cup of herbal tea sweeten with honey or artificial sugar.
