    Apples always make me hungry.

    Does happen with other fruit tho.

    You also digest fruit sugars quicker than most other food, so you get the full feeling quicker. Plus the water and fibre... and it's quite a package.

    Yes, that... and now I'm dying for some fruit and I just realized my husband ate the last of the mangoes......

    I feel fuller faster but I also get hungry again like 40 minutes later, which is way sooner than when I eat proteins...

    That's so true. Never thought of that. Watermellon always makes me full.

    Fruit contains a lot of fructose which tops up liver glycogen levels. Once glycogen stores have reached capacity it sends a "Full" signal to the brain.

    That and the fibre contained in fruit.

    Part of the sugar in fruits is classified as fructose. Fructose gets stored in your body as liver glycogen. Liver glycogen has a satiating effect on your brain. A good cure for the munchies!!
