The hunger that does not pass can be caused by the excess of foods rich in carbohydrates in the feeding, lack of vitamins in the organism or psychological problems, like depression or anxiety, for example.
Already when the feeling of hunger that does not disappear, it can be being provoked by a hormonal deregulation. Thus, if there is little production of satiety hormones, it is normal to eat more food than normal, contributing to weight gain.
In addition, eating too fast also does not allow the hormones to communicate in the right time between the stomach and the brain, which increases the feeling of hunger.

What to eat when Hunger does not pass
To fight against hunger that does not pass, one must:
- Avoid foods high in sugars such as cakes, cookies, candies or ice creams, for example, these foods rapidly increase blood sugar, which then also rapidly decreases causing an increase in hunger;
- Increase fiber-rich foods like all bran cereals, passion fruit, almonds, cabbage or sesame, for example, because the fibers help to decrease appetite. See a complete list of these foods in: Foods rich in fiber.
- Eat protein-rich foods with every meal like egg, white meat, fish, turkey ham or chicken, white cheese, yogurt or milk, for example. The proteins that are in these foods are satiating and so help to reduce hunger.
- Practice physical activity daily because it helps release endorphins in the brain, which gives a sense of well-being, relaxes, improves mood, decreases anxiety and also the desire to eat.
In addition, it is also important to consult the endocrinologist, to check if there is any problem in the hormones that are increasing hunger too.
