Detailed explanation-1: -High blood sugar levels directly increase cravings for food-and in particular, sugar-because your body relies on it to function. When there isn’t enough insulin to reach glucose to your brain and cells throughout the body, your brain sends out signals as hunger.
Detailed explanation-2: -Often known as the “hunger hormone, ” ghrelin has numerous functions in addition to telling your brain you’re hungry. For example, ghrelin: Increases food intake and helps your body store fat.
Detailed explanation-3: -These experiments show that elevations in insulin produce increased hunger, heightened perceived pleasantness of sweet taste, and increased food intake. Finally, a study is described that considers how different insulin levels, produced by the type of food ingested, may affect subsequent food intake.
