How does your body know you're full? - Hilary Coller

Hunger claws at your belly. It tugs at your intestines, which begin to writhe, aching to be fed. Being hungry generates a powerful and often unpleasant physical sensation that’s almost impossible to ignore. After you’ve reacted by gorging on your morning pancakes, you start to experience an opposing force: fullness. But how does your body actually know when you’re full? Hilary Coller explains.

The worst is when you go out to eat and you end up over eating. Then you go home and lay down while your stomach is in pain and you are regretting it.

I love watching videos about the human body. Every time I do, I am reminded how amazingly complicated it is, and how it practically manages itself on its own!

I'd be interested to learn if there's a psychological aspect of hunger as well. I have food based PTSD and food insecurity, so I tend to unconsciously suppress minor signals of hunger until my blood sugar is lowered and I'm ravenous, and it feels like it's harder to stay full even with an otherwise filling meal.
