Do you ever feel unsatisfied or tired after a meal, or are hungry only moments after you last ate? Most of us can relate to that feeling and it can be very frustrating when you are trying to control what you consume.
Dr. Parker, Director of Research and Development at dōTERRA International, wrote in the Winter 2013 Living Magazine about what makes us feel unsatisfied or tired after a meal. He suggests that there are two aspects of eating that are important to how we feel after we eat. The first is satiety (how long the meal lasts before we are hungry again) and the second is how the food affects our blood stream in the few hours after a meal.
He suggests that in order to feel satisfied after a meal, we need the proper amount of protein and fat. If we eat a meal consisting mostly of carbohydrates, it leaves our stomach quickly, and can result in us feeling hungry sooner.
He also advises that “the best solution is to engage your muscles by taking a brisk walk, or otherwise forcing your muscle to use some of that new load of sugar it just received.”
