Fullness

[Booze Zombie]

You when you eat food? You feel full, right? I don't. I don't get why not, but I don't.

I could down 2 sandwiches and a yogurt and not even notice I'm full, which worries me.
Can anyone hazard a guess at why I can't feel when I've eaten enough?
I really want to be aware of when to eat and when not to, it really gets quite annoying.

Slow down, it takes 20 minutes for the brain to realize the stomach is full. Also avoid high fructose corn syrup, it cuts off the chemical messengers that tell your brain you're full.
If slowing down doesn't work, you may want to talk to your doctor. I'm not too sure about the specifics but I hear that not realizing you're full could be an early detector to obesity.

20 minutes? Damn, my brain is a slouch!

Don't slow down...speed up! Try eating 37 sandwiches and 9 litres of yoghurt, either fullness or a ruptured stomach lining await you.

RavingPenguin is right, and also a quality dude.

But yeah, it takes a while for the stomach to be all "oh hey I do not need any more food okay?"
Just...eat slower. I usually eat while at the computer, which means it takes me an hour or so to finish anything as complicated as a sammich.
It also means I do not over-eat, because...
Well, there aren't that many hours in the day.

Um, is it too quick if I can eat 2 sandwiches in under an hour and down the yogurt within that same hour as well?

Wow. I frequently knock over a mass of beer, a couple of pizzas and some nachos in an hour.

I used to eat two large pizzas on the half hour drive home from work, then eat a full plate of steak and vegetables so as not to annoy my mother.

I suppose the question is, do you feel full eventually?

I edited my previous post to include this, but High fructose corn syrup can cut off the chemical messengers to the brain that tell you you're full. The stuff can stay in your system a little while so try to avoid it before, during, and after a meal. The yogurt may have the stuff in it which may be the problem, sodas dont help much either.

I can down pizzas like that... I'd be worried about my heart if it was two, though.

Believe me when I say that the pizza's are not the issue, the 20+ bottles of V, the mass of coffee and the continual cheeto's are what would have done me in.

So, stop eating yogurts and stop drinking soda and I should be able to feel when I'm full a little bit better? Awesome. Uh, alcohol effect your percption of fullness as well?

You are a zombie. You never get full.

"BRAINSSSSSS!" "Would you like fries with that?" "BRAINSSS!"

It shouldnt, but Im not sure. Im not a drinker and dont know much about it. Carbonation is bad though, stay away from it.

Actually, I heard there was a mental condition (not in the you're nuts kind of way) that resulted in a lack of ability to tell when one was full.

Search it up on Google?

Not to be bearer of bad news but it could be tapeworm. If your unsure about it, google it or see a doctor I guess.

If it was a tapeworm I'd be thin and I wouldn't mind it so much.

Yep. This is where the term 'Beer Belly' comes from. When you drink too much alcohol, it dulls the nerve which detects whether you are full or not. Since they constantly feel hungry, they eat too much and the stomach has to expand to fit the food.

I'd advise you to change your diet first to see if what you are currently eating could be causing this effect. If that does not work, see a doctor as it could be a problem with the nerve mentioned earlier.

I only drink about a bottle or two of cider a week... it's not very strong and I drink it infrequently, could it really be that?

Simple, you cant be full after only 2 sandwiches, EAT MORE!

I highly doubt it. It requires you to go out binge drinking frequently for the alcohol to affect you like that.

 

[rossatdi]

Are you over-weight? If not, don't worry about it!

If so then start start being calorie aware and figure out when you should be.

Oh thank sweet buttery Jesus.

I just thought of something, could drinking excessive amounts of water effect my ability to "feel full"?
