I have a question
Today, I was discussing fat-loss diets with another player and suddenly had a question: Why do I always feel like eating when I have nothing to do, even when I'm not hungry? But when I'm busy with work, I don't feel like eating even if I am hungry?

It's due to high stress. Stress can alter hormone secretion in the body, affecting appetite and hunger.

You hit the nail on the head! I still have that habit 🤣 Wanting to eat is because the brain seeks stimulation and comfort. It's the 'fake hunger' from the brain's reward system, just for happy dopamine. But the brain can also mistake 'thirst' for 'hunger'. One of the reasons is the 'anxiety issue' mentioned in the comment above. But since your reply doesn't mention that, it's probably one of the two I mentioned. You can try to redirect your attention (like walking around) or drink some water👍

AuthorI see, my stupid brain made me gain almost 10kg, and I still can't lose it... lol... I even mistake thirst for hunger! I'm probably just chasing dopamine for happiness 😆😆😆
