How does eating fast food increase appetite?
Professor Dr. Subhash Giri, Director, Department of Medicine, RML Hospital. It is said that the amount of fiber and protein in fast food is very low, while the amount of refined carbs and sugar is high. After eating this, blood sugar increases rapidly and then falls quickly. Due to this fluctuation, the body receives signals of hunger again and again. Additionally, it activates the part of the brain that increases taste and cravings. This makes a person feel like eating something again and again, even if the body does not need energy.
