Hunger and fullness are regulated by the part of the brain called the hypothalamus. Hypothalamus receives information related to hunger and fullness through hormones in the body, such as leptin, ghrelin, serotonin, growth hormone, pregnancy hormone (hCG), cortisol, melatonin, oxytocin, thyroxine, estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.

Often feeling hungry even if you eat as you experience can be caused by several conditions, including:

Perform physical activities that are quite heavy, for example exercise, up and down stairs, running, lifting heavy items

Lack of sleep

Extreme diet

Psychic stress, pleasure, anxiety, boredom

Smell the smell of the food you like

Environmental influences (friends offer food)

Cold temperature

Side effects of consumption of soda, alcohol

Hormonal changes, for example during menstruation, pregnancy, breastfeeding

Food composition that is low in protein, high in simple carbohydrates

Other diseases, such as diabetes, hyperthyroidism, allergies, asthma, malnutrition, etc.

If the complaint is already very disturbing, especially to cause a drastic increase in body weight, you should check your complaint directly with a nutritionist.
