11 Foods That Will Leave You Hungrier
6. Alcohol. A study published in Alcohol & Alcoholism indicated that just three servings of alcohol can reduce your levels of the hormone leptin, which works to curb hunger and keep you feeling full by 30 percent.
According to Decotiis, drinking alcohol is also responsible for diminishing your stored carbohydrate, glycogen; thus making you long for carbohydrates to reimburse for what was gone. Furthermore, loss of electrolytes and dehydration may make your crave for salty foods.
7. Pizza. Decotiis says that it is just not possible to eat a single slice of pizza as you always want more. This mainly happens because your favorite pizza is prepared from white flour, processed cheeses, hydrogenated oils and preservatives that can increase your blood-sugar levels and imbalance the secretion of satiety hormones and hormone-regulating regions of the brain.
If you really want to have the goodness of pizza, it is best to prepare it at home with whole-wheat dough and top it with lots of healthy vegetables, lean meat, and a sprinkling of cheese. This will turn out to be a perfect protein and fiber-filled meal that will not let you search for more food just after an hour.
8. Sushi rolls. According to dietitian Susan M. Kleiner, RD, a scientific consultant with USANA Health Sciences, people intend to consume sushi rolls in order to get the nutrients of fish, but they end up eating more rice.
The California roll is composed of 30 grams of carbohydrates, and consuming it means eating approximately three slices of white bread. Sushi rolls are quickly digested making your stomach empty because it is devoid of fiber or protein that leaves you feeling full for hours.
