Women Less able to check their hunger

Women Less able to check their hunger

A new study was done, comparing the appetite between men and women. It turns out women are less able to check their hunger, and stay hungry for longer after they initially crave a food. The men and women fasted for one day, and the next day were shown pictures of their favorite foods. The part of the brain which responds to women stayed active for much longer than the men who completed the study. I'm not sure why this is..??

That's interesting.. Maybe because women have a faster metabolism than men. When menstruating, we use half as many calories than normally. Maybe that's why. :P
