Question

Is it just me or do apples make anyone else more hungry? I eat them because they say the fiber is supposed to make you feel full but every time I do, I’m starving 15 mins later.  

Answer 1

Eating an apple always makes me hungry, so does chewing gum

Comments

@appendicle omg chewing gum is worst for feeling hungry

I agree! I find anything carbie makes me hungry. I have cut down on fruit, eating mostly just berries for fruit.

I agree.

Vegetables, even though they are not what you want when you are hungry, really help. Carrots, cukes, and onion with a little apple cider vinegar and oregano are great.

Just force them. You won't eat as much. Promise.

Absolutely unless they're baked.

Anytime I eat anything sweet it makes me want to eat more.

Eat the apple with some cheese or peanut butter to add a little fat and protein - it will fill you up better

It is the sugar in apples causing you to be hungry.

Can't see that that would be different. It only means the outside does not need to be cleaned from chemicals.

Answer 47

Eat protein foods will help you feel full and water also helps you feel full.
