Hungry while I'm eating??

So, I decided to cut up a banana and put a cup of sliced strawberries with it as a little snack. As I am stabbing one of the last few bites-I'm thinking "Wow, I feel like I haven't put a thing in my stomach all day!" Could this be the same effect as when eating an apple by itself (momentarily raising your blood sugar) making me feel hungry? I ate a stick of pepper jack cheese and now I'm fine.

It could be that or you're just thirsty. I read somewhere that the brain sends the same exact signals it would when your hungry...when you're thirsty! So if you have already eaten and you still feel hungry... you're probably just thirsty!
Hope this helps! :happy:

I know that, for me, I can't have a snack made up entirely of carbs. I think it whacks my blood sugar out & starts me on a spiral of hungriness. My snacks always have a carb and a protein (sometimes a fat too). I like apples with peanut butter or cheese or any kind of fruit and cheese. It satisfies my hunger and keeps me from rummaging around in the cabinets for more.

I'll tell ya, a little protein with a fruit snack really helps me. I just ate an apple and a cheese stick and feel pretty good. If I ate that apple by itself I *know* I'd be foraging for something else already!
