Forget Angry: Here’s How Hunger Makes You Impulsive

As the Snickers advert says: "You're not you when you're hungry" :)

This is why I buy things I wont end up eating when I'm hungry...

Here, now that you've mentioned it, would you be willing to make a video on the psychological effects of food insecurity? I'm keen to learn more. Brit, you're an absolute treasure 🥰

The Snikers people are sitting back in their chairs with a smug look right now.

If you're hungry and you know it have a snack If you're hungry and you know it have a snack If you're hungry and you know it and you next choice might just blow it if you're hungry and you know it have a snack

I’ve always had a very important rule by which I strictly abide: Never shop or make any decisions on A) a full bladder, B) a full colon, or C) an empty stomach. I guess I naturally picked up on this fact xD.

Hangy happens. My mom and I would be at each others throats. Then one of us would ask the other, "you ate lately?" A little food, and the problem became easy to solve.

No wonder actors that deliberately starve themselves to retain their figure are grumpy.

What about how I'm hungry for dinner with an hour of work left, but when I get home I'm not really hungry anymore.

Before you make a quick decision ask yourself, are you Hungy, Angry, Lonely, and/or Tired. HALT

As someone who's experienced anxiety disorders, I noticed a huge spike in anxiety lvls, let alone the hangry effect when I hadn't eaten for some time. And then there's the huge issue on how our gut bacteria may affect our psychological states including mental illness. Eating certain foods has been shown to benefit specific bacteria down below. Continuing research on links from our gut flora to our minds, such as comparing the gut flora of people who have a healthy balanced diet against those who eat a lot of fast food or very little at all potentially could lead to new treatments (hopefully). (Apols if this topic has already been covered on channel b4.)

Quote of the day: “Studing the brain is a science, but using it is an art.”

It's a known fact where I work that when i need to eat, I NEED TO EAT ! I get everything mention in this plus a head ache.

Turns out those hangry snickers commercials were based in science

In my oppinions maybe the best naorator on this channel. She makes it fun and interresting, while not being cringy. Great video 😉!

The scary part of that is the thought that judges and juries make decisons while hangry!

Yeah, so as a cafeteria worker who can't eat until everyone is served, and all the food is put away, imagine how I react to people who show up 20 minutes late complaining that they were too busy to ask for a plate before I started my lunch break. Now imagine how I feel when I tell them we are closed, and they ask how I was magically able to put one last plate together for myself - while I'm finally eating my lunch.

Thank you, Brit! I suppose that regret is like when you are hungry and instead of making/ordering something good, you eat a whole bunch of McDonald's and feel gross afterwards...That's why I just ignore fast food places entirely.

TL;DR: THERE'S A COOKIE MONSTER IN EACH OF US

When I use to work manual labour, everyone would know what time it was when I would start to slow down, as my body was slowing telling me to go on break lol Damn you ghrelin!
