According to Dr. Jen Ashton, MD there are hormones that control your feelings of hunger or fullness. Your body sends signals to your mind about your need to eat, and then when to stop eating. They are known as the “hunger hormones.”
1. The hormone Ghrelin increases appetite and therefore plays a role in body weight.
2. Leptin is a hormone produced by fat cells and decreases your appetite giving you that “full” feeling.
So how do you reduce Ghrelin levels to lose weight?

4. Reduce stress. …
5. Eat High Fiber Foods to fill up your stomach …
