FEELINGS OF SATIETY VARY BEETWEEN PEOPLE

All people have a different feeling of satiety when they eat, and researchers say that our ability to feel full also decreases as we age.

If you have some sleep, you may also have trouble detecting satiety signals. Researchers found that women slept a little at about 300 more calories per day. Hormonal fluctuations - especially during menopause - and some medications can also play a role, but in most cases it is eating too fast and without thinking about getting to that feeling of satiety.

Remember, it takes an average of 20 minutes for your brain to register food in your stomach.

What can we do to feel full?

In the end, we have to slow down while eating. Even if we start hungry, we need to exercise some self-discipline by having a reasonable serving size and then give ourselves a good 20 minutes to let our brain catch up before we go back to take more.

In general, if you have eaten slowly, your stomach expands as you eat and you have enough time to register your feeling of satiety. We all have certain days we are hungrier, so having a food diary or recording what may have contributed to your hunger levels increases a certain day.

- Sometimes drinking water before a meal can help you not to confuse hunger with thirst.

- If it is a large portion of food, you can ask for a small plate next to it and remove part of the portion to share with others on the table.
