Because your brain thinks you need more food. Imagine eating a big pizza, but right after, your brain says, 'You only ate one slice! There are still six more!' That’s why you feel hungry even though you’ve just eaten. It happens because of special messengers in your body called hormones that tell your brain when to eat and when to stop.
Examples
- Eating one slice of pizza, then feeling like you need to eat six more.
- Finishing lunch but craving a snack right after.
- Drinking soda with your meal and suddenly wanting dessert.
