Our San Jose Nutrition Coaches want to know, have you ever finished a meal and still feel hungry? Like you should be full—but you’re already thinking about what you’re going to eat next? If that’s you, you’re not “lacking willpower.” And it’s definitely not all in your head! There’s a very real reason this happens. Many of the foods we eat on a daily basis literally mess with our hunger hormones. Your body’s natural “I’m full” signals (like GLP-1, leptin, and PYY) aren’t just emotional—they’re biochemical… And when you eat ultra-processed foods, those hormones don’t respond the way they’re supposed to. Researchers like Dr. Chris van Tulleken (who literally did an experiment on himself by eating 80% ultra-processed food for a month) found that his body stopped producing normal fullness signals after meals. Same number of calories as a normal, unprocessed meal, but… Totally different response from his body. Which means: You can eat an entire meal and still feel like something’s missing. This is all because processed foods are engineered to keep you coming back for more. So if you’ve ever thought: This might be why! So what’s the fix? Our San Jose Nutrition Coaches work with clients every day to help them rebuild their relationship with food—by understanding how their bodies respond to different meals and nutrients. So if you’ve been stuck in the “eat → still hungry → snack → still hungry” cycle… You’re not alone. A San Jose Nutrition Coach can help you break that pattern—without extremes, restrictions, or gimmicks.
