80. Why am I always hungry?!

Listen Later
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.
