Is it possible to control hunger? How to reduce nervous hunger? First of all, let’s take care of something very important, which I have experienced on my skin and which all people who suffer or have suffered from nervous hunger will have noticed: it is not possible to really control hunger. On the contrary. The more time passes, the more if we have had bad habits and continue to have them, will we have less and less control over our nervous hunger?

The reason? Among the bad habits there is undoubtedly one we never think about enough: dieting , reducing calories or limiting certain foods, paying excessive attention to the food we put in our mouth. Our body “remembers” these kinds of restrictions and becomes more and more resistant to the diet. Some experts refer to this mechanism as ” metabolic damage “: a series of hormonal problems related to slow metabolism, which cause nervous hunger. Resistance to the hormone leptin , the satiety hormone, and to insulin, another hormone linked to the sense of satiety, make us tend to eat more than we should, and we often risk bingeing. Added to these symptoms is an increased sensitivity to ghrelin, the hunger hormone. These hormonal mechanisms, connected to other mechanisms that govern stress, are partly responsible for nervous hunger, directly or indirectly according to some studies: in fact, they are connected to other mechanisms, which I will call psychological, but which are of the nervous type, and which always have to do with a body memory. Those who have been too often in restriction feel a real intolerance at the idea of ​​going on a diet again.
More than shaping our bodies, diets shape our brains .The more the years pass, the more we realize that it is difficult to follow a diet just as it is increasingly difficult to have a healthy and non-conflictual relationship with food again.
What to do? Here’s how to reduce nervous hunger with a few good tips. (Follow me on page two)
