80. Why am I always hungry?!

Welcome back to The Down to Earth PCOS Nutrition Podcast!

On today’s episode I’m answering a question I hear commonly from women with PCOS:   “Why am I always hungry?”

More specifically, women with PCOS tend to struggle with:

• Not staying full after meals 
• Constantly feeling the urge to snack
• Experiencing intense sugar and carb cravings 
• Thinking about food often and struggling to feel satiety 

Hunger, cravings and increased appetite may seem related to willpower or self-control but in fact, there is a strong hormonal component behind these food-related sensations.  

What You’ll Learn on this Podcast Episode:

• Why women with PCOS experience uncontrollable hunger.
• How Leptin, Cortisol and Insulin affect appetite and intense cravings.
• Why stronger willpower and self control are not going to help in most cases
• Some best practices to consider if you are constantly hungry.
