I love apples, I used to eat an apple a day, sometimes more. But I started noticing after I'd eat the apple, my stomach started growling and I was really hungry. It's only after I eat an apple. Why?

Interesting...I thought I was the only one. Porridge/oatmeal does the same for me...an hour after eating the stuff I'm STARVING!
No idea why tho, so, anyone got any theories?0 -
I'm not sure why it happens, but I've noticed it too... I can eat them and just never feel full... I'll even be REALLY hungry after I've eaten one. Weird.0

Glad to hear it's not just me!0

water does the same thing to me. dont know what it is, but I am fine until I drink water and all of a sudden I am REALLY hungry and my stomach is growling like crazy.0

Me three!0

the same thing happens to me so now the only way i eat apples is if i'm eating it with some kind of protein (apple + peanut butter, apple and a handful of nuts, etc.)
it's because apples are almost completely made up of simple carbs so your body will digest it very quickly.0 -
I could be wrong, but maybe it's just your stomach reacting to the fiber? is it that you actually feel hungry or is it just that your stomach starts making noises?
could be the sugar also? Not sure. Sorry. guess it was kinda pointless to post that I dont really know! haha0 -
same here! in fact I can't eat an apple on an empty stomach it gives me cramps! now and then I have a few slices with some cheese.0

Yay! Me too - I thought it was me going loopy.0

Apples do that to me as well. I thought I was imagining it. Nice to know I'm not the only one. Like others have said, I eat something with it now: nuts, peanut butter, low-fat cheese, or something0

Hmm, it makes me actually hungry. I don't get it from other high-fibre foods, like All-Bran.0

Same thing happens to me when I eat oatmeal. I have no idea why it happens.0

It's because of the sugar in apples: it causes an insulin spike to deal with the increase in blood sugar, which causes your glucose to drop suddenly, which causes the feeling of hunger.0

The problem with apples is that they are purely carbs and nothing else, and carbs will always leave you with that "empty" feeling. What you need to do, and what I do, is eat the apple with a couple of almonds or a piece of low calorie string cheese. That way you are getting a good mix of carbs, fats, and proteins as part of a healthy snack that will leave you feeling full for quite some time. Hope this helps!0

Although I agree with eating fruit with some kind of protein.... I disagree that apples are simple carbs. Apples are a complex carb, and one of the lowest fruits on the glycemic index.0 -

Both, with apples and oatmeal0 -

Fruits are simple carbs. The sugar present in fruit is fructose0 -

That sugar is also paired with fiber which allows them to be released into the bloodstream slower, and you do not have the spike and drop of insulin levels.0 -
