Why Do You Feel Hungry Again at 10 PM Even After an Early Dinner?

Have you ever had an early dinner but still find yourself feeling hungry again around 10 PM? You might crave the usual tea, biscuits, or some snacks. This is a common experience.

Why does this happen? 1. Your meal may be low in protein and fat. 2. Stress and fatigue accumulated throughout the day. 3. Sugar cycle causing insulin crash. 4. The brain demands reward, leading to emotional cravings. 5. Sleep signals can be mistaken by the body as hunger.

What can you do? - Have a light dinner rich in fiber and protein. - Take one teaspoon of ghee for sustained energy. - Drink warm water or herbal tea at 9:30 PM. - When cravings arise, take a 10-minute walk. - Maintain a proper sleep schedule, aiming to sleep by 10:30 PM.

Remember, cravings are not a weakness; they are the body's way of communicating. Understand them well.
