Why is it that when we eat Chinese food, an hour later we're hungry again?

You are not eating enough. Eat more. I am never hungry after eating Chinese food. People get this idea of that myth in their heads and think they are hungry. If you feel hungry, eat more. If you explode, then it's your fault for believing in a silly myth.

I have no clue but I am the same way, as a matter of fact I had chinese for lunch today and we were all talking while we were eating about how we are always hungry like an hour afterwards. It must have something to do with the msgs or something, maybe some people are sort of allergic to it and it reacts in their stomach causing a full feeling?? Just a theory, LOL, I have no clue.

I copied this from I book I read:
"Chinese meals, for the most part, contain rice, little meat, and plenty of low-calorie vegetables. The rice and noodle dishes...contain carbohydrates that cause the blood sugar to peak and then plummet, causing hunger. So, if you are going out for Chinese, don't forget the Peking duck, General Tso's chicken, ot the spareribs. You may feel greasy and start quoting Mao, but you won't feel hungry later."
True, I experimented, I was never hungry until I started eating the fatty stuff, and I am Chinese.

i think it is because people fill up on the rice or that the msg might be causeing your stomach to act wierd. but i can tell you this i love chinese food. i dont eat alot of rice i eat what i ordered instead and im never hungry after 1 hour, infact it will fill me up for at least 8 hours...

Why do I keep hearing this silly statement? I'm just a freak maybe, but, I'm not hungry, one hour after eating Chinese food!

a myth that someone started and we keep thinking it :) [maybe some restaurant owner]
Joking aside, imho it is because chinese eat more healthy food (lean meats, fresh veggies, etc) and Westerners are used to meat and potatoes and bread.....again, in my humble opinion.

Chinese Is a lot of non rib sticking food.
