sugar

[Guest guest]

Well, this may or may not be the reason for what you are experiencing, but sugar

(carbs) drive your blood sugars (glucose) up very rapidly, it is a carb high,

and then drops like a rock falling into the Grand Canyon. That up and down

rapidness of it causes one to crave it and to feel hungry. If I eat a large

carb meal I will get hungry much sooner than with a low carb meal or slow carb

meal. White potatoes converts to glucose faster than table sugar and also drives

blood sugars up where they then drop like a rock. My guess would be that is also

behind the old idea that when you eat Chinese food you get hungry sooner. They

tend to be high carb meals.

I very much agree. If I eat sugar I crave it. If I can stay away for a

few days that craving goes away.

I did read though that once your body consumes sugar, it starts to

crave it. I actually experienced this. I never ever ate desserts.

At one point years ago, though, I started to eat one of those mini

candy bars after a meal (I think because I just had them on hand for

some reason). Well, this became a habit. My body adjusted to wanting

that little candy bar after every meal whether I was hungry or not.

I'd finally given that up after a few weeks.

 

I wonder how many people are actually " hungry " when eating a dessert.

I'm sure the majority of us just " feel like " eating a dessert and

don't actually have an appetite for it. Food for thought.
