Hungry when bored, not when busy (oversimplified).... Anyone else?
Actually it's not that simple... Any doctor on board that could venture a guess as to how that works?
Whenever I get home from work, it's like a reflex, I gotta eat some crap, cookies, something... I feel genuinely hungry, to the point where I will get borderline hypoglycemic if I don't eat soon (shakes, bad mood etc..). Same if in the morning I have a breakfast too high in starch/sugar... by 10:30 I need food, fast, or else !!!
Now same scenarios but say I gotta adjust the valves on the porsche when i get home... I'm busy, I don't need to eat, I'm not hungry, I can skip the junk i'd have eaten AND the meal that I would have killed for in the other scenario... Or on the breakfast scenario - say work is super busy that morning - no problem till noon or even later, even with the same "bad" breakfast high in sugar...
I get the bored/hungry connection, but it's not just psychological when the exact same food is ingested in both cases: either I have enough sugars in there, or I don't... How can simply being busy (or enjoying what you do) make such a difference in food absorption or speed of sugar processing ? Any ideas ?
PS: I know a diet that'd work for me. More project cars... I can see it already.. The porsche restoration diet !!!
