I had Chinese food last night and I know people always say they fill up on chinese food, but it doesn't quit last. You always seem hungry again 1-2 hours later. Anyone know why?

I'll have to agree with many other answers here, as the carbs are the main staple from the food, centered around the rice. I would add though, that the carbs break down into simple sugars in your blood stream, which causes an increase in the amount of insulin in your bloodstream. Insulin metabolizes carbs, which is what allows their transport. When your bloodstream clears of the large, new influx of insulin, the blood-sugar levels drop and you experiance a feeling of hunger. Same thing as eating a huge bag of candy...Except you've probably ingested a much more healthy amount of proteins and fiber along with your sugar ;)

frequently, a meal of chinese language foodstuff is extremely intense-carb. the share of rice to meat/fish is distinctive than, enable's say, having a mashed potatoes and turkey meal. Then, upload to this the a number of components utilized in chinese language cooking which includes sugar, cornstarch and different vegetables intense in carbs and you get the effects of a intense-carb meal. The carbs reason a spike on your blood sugar and each so often could reason something such as a "sugar intense." the difficulty is, while your physique gets over that top, looking on how lots you have eaten, the low that follows could reason your blood sugar to dip to diminish than usual, inflicting you to experience starvation. a competent thank you to counter stability that occurence is to consume greater of the protein component to the meal (meats, fish, seafood) in share to the rice. yet for the reason that a chinese language foodstuff meal is fairly meant to be ate up with a lot of carbs as against the proteins (Yummy with the fried rice AND the chow mein!!), what's a female to do??? i might say, delight in it for what that's. Now which you already know that that's an argument of biology and nutritional technology, only settle for that it will ensue and take a snack once you're hungry lower back! on the upside, it encourages you to consume greater in lots of situations. that's in the back of the assumption of elevating your metabolism (take a small meal or snack each and every 3 - 4 hours) and conserving slender. what number chinese language do you spot that are obese? :)

Chinese food contains lots of carbohydrates that metabolize really fast. This is what makes you feel hungry again so soon.

CARBOHYDRATES! Your body metabolizes carbs quickly and burns them for energy before it metabolizes protein.

Also, unless you eat breaded fried stuff, it's pretty low-fat. Low-fat stuff doesn't keep you satisfied as long.
