Your stomach may be full but you still crave something else. TIME points out several ways our bodies tell us we’re hungry even when we’re not.
Even after eating a large meal, we often “make room” for dessert, because a desire for sweets hasn’t been satisfied. [Take a break from that ice cream to brush. The flavor change helps you resist eating more]
The colder the temperature, the more people tend to eat, which is why restaurants often keep thermostats low.
Scent is one of the key ways we cue our bodies that food is near. Once the trigger goes off, it can induce the insulin secretion that makes us think we’re hungry.
Through routine, we condition our bodies to expect breakfast, lunch and dinner at the same time each day.
