Unfortunately this is not always the case. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The high carbohydrate load thanks to adding the muffin and danish on the plate on the right hand side may actually leave you feeling hungry SOONER ????. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ➡️ When we eat a large amount of carbs in one sitting (known as glycemic load), our blood sugar levels go up relative to the amount we've eaten. Our bodies then release insulin in an effort to regulate our blood sugar levels to bring them back to within a desirable range. The spike and fall of blood sugar and insulin has been shown that it can leave people feeling hungry sooner. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ➡️ So while carbs are NOT BAD- our bodies are better at processing them when they're consumed in moderate portions across the day instead of in huge loads. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ **Results will vary between individuals but it is something to consider if you find yourself often getting hungry soon after what seems like a decent sized meal!
