Here are 4 ingredients and poor habits that may be tricking your body into craving more food.

#1. High Fructose Corn Syrup
One of the main hunger inducing ingredients is high fructose corn syrup. Now think about which foods and drinks contains a lot of high fructose corn syrup? Sweetened drinks:
- Soda
- Juice “drink” cocktails

Foods that can contain this hunger inducing ingredient:
- Breakfast cereals
- Yogurts
- Baked goods
- Bread
- Candy bars
- Salad dressings
- Protein bars

What Is Leptin?
When you flood your body with high fructose corn syrup, it essentially impedes the body’s ability to use leptin. This is important because leptin is the hormone that regulates your hunger and makes you feel full. If the ingredient label says high fructose corn syrup, avoid it.

#2. Bisphenol-A (a.k.a. BPA)
BPA is another chemical that messes with your leptin hunger hormone. If you don’t know what BPA is, it’s a chemical found in many canned foods:
- Tomato sauce
- Beans
- Vegetables

This chemical may cause numerous health issues, as well as wrecking havoc on your cravings. If you’re going to buy canned foods, always make sure the label says BPA-Free.

#3. Refined Carbohydrates
If you look at the traditional American Standard Diet, it typically starts with a breakfast cereal that is filled with refined flour, sugar, and probably high fructose corn syrup, along with a glass of processed orange juice.

Since this meal has little to no fiber, nor does it contain any healthy protein, the sugar quickly hits your bloodstream, and spikes the fat storing hormone insulin. The sugar is then quickly removed from the bloodstream, making your blood sugar crash, thus making you a ravenous animal looking around for the next quick source of calories and sugar.

Start replacing your sugary breakfast cereals with nature’s breakfast, eggs. Not only are eggs higher in hunger busting protein and healthy fat, they won’t spike blood sugar.

Then when you get home after a long day of work, rather than making a hunger boasting carbohydrate filled pasta dish, opt for a big ass salad with:
- Diced up steak or chicken
- Nuts
- Seeds
- Healthy dose of olive oil and vinegar for dressing

Not only will all the protein and fat make you full, all the vitamins and fiber in the leafy vegetables will help eliminate your night time cravings.

#4. You’re Choosing the Wrong Fluids
When many people relax at night, they are on the couch watching TV, with a chilled beer in one hand, and the other hand in a bag of potato chips. Many times when you think you’re hungry, you’re actually just bored.

Rather than watching TV:
- Go out for a walk
- Go read a book
- Just get away from the kitchen

Also, try replacing the beer, on most nights, with a satiating tea. When you have late night cravings, one of my best tips is to drink a black tea or green tea. This will put your late night cravings to an end.

Next time you think you’re still hungry after eating, go drink a big glass of water. A lot of times hunger is just a disguise for you being thirsty. Also, before your meals, have 1-2 glasses of water to help further decrease your appetite.

Hopefully you enjoyed these 4 reasons why you’re still hungry after you just ate.

Do you always feel hungry after eating? Which of these hunger craving tips are you going to implement?

[gianniromano]

I always ask myself when I feel hungry(but I'm actually bored) if I want an apple.

[tissuy]

Great video!
Some other reasons:
- chewing gum (as well as foods with things like synthetic sweeteners xylitol, sorbitol, mannitol and aspartame)
- any kind of sugar ( high fructose corn syrup, concentrated fruit juice, maple syrup, coconut sugar, palm sugar....)
- NOT ENOUGH SLEEP (I can't stress this enough)

[HealthfulPursuitTheKetoDiet]

You're an inspiration. Another great idea from you! More power :)

[jayblade]

You explained that very well. Thanks bro! I will use these tactics.

[sunsetssandlands]

yes I can literally eat a whole bag of potato chips and still be hungry!

[houserdiane]

Yup! 👍🏽. This one is on point. The common foods you mentioned are the culprits. Sad deal is - not many people want to make changes.

[Crappie_Day]

thanks for the motivation brotha, i gotta keep looking at this as something to refine.

[mucura]

I ate a really high protein healthy meal but man I'm still hungry

[am-jiwb]

What if I just ate a normal meal and about 7 minutes later I got hungry again? But when I say hungry, I mean my stomach is aching (the normL hunger feeling). I tryed eating something more than that but nothing happened. That has never happened to me before.

[DLSGH]

Hi Brad,
Again - great video, explain me thing or two about my sudden hunger sometimes...
I wanted to ask you where I contact you if I have a question about my dietry or stuff like this...

Really love you're videos - keep going for doing good for other people :)

[HBsurfista]

Solid tips... I just put down an 8oz of baked mahi mahi mixed with a huge serving of sauteed mushrooms and steamed broccoli. For some reason I felt hungrier after I finished. Took your advice and pounded a glass of water to fill in the cracks but still got massive cravings. Could cutting out the carbs, like a big bowl of rice which would be typical, leave me hungry or at least craving the carbs?

Love your videos!!! I was just wondering what video editing system do you use? and what types of camera? Thanks :)

[TinoMiller]

[menproductreviews]

The 10 who disliked this are the ones watching this while drinking a beer and eating chips lol.

[bebeconnection]

I've learned so much from your videos, thank you!!!

[millymcbug]

currently eating chips and dipping it in chocolate while watching this.... whoops

[uhavemooface]

I don't eat processed foods. I eat my prepped foods at home. Chicken fish and veggies with brown rice and black beans. I work out five days a week and I do some intense workouts almost every time we are at the gym. I am still hungry right now but I ate almost 2 hours ago.

[samirajinki]

this is me honesty..but I'm denial..I don't know why I keep on eating even when I ate a full meal..I wanted to stop but I can't 😭😭

[mxgregg]

Oh and your cookbook is da bomb. Great tasting healthy food.
