The Paradoxical Situation of Hunger Signals
As a potent emotion hardwired in the brain, hunger affects our thoughts and behavior. Like other emotions, hunger signals are also created by the primitive brain, particularly the hypothalamus. Therefore, the neocortex (thinking brain) has little say about it.
This means that even though our thinking brain might influence the old brain, coping with the hunger emotion can be very difficult for most of us if we don’t know its origin. Thus, we need a mindful approach to hunger that might increase our willpower.
