Ghrelin is known as a “hunger hormone.” When the stomach is empty, it releases ghrelin, which sends a message to the hypothalamus telling one to eat. Normally, ghrelin levels are highest before eating and lowest about an hour after a meal.
However, in overweight and obese people, fasting ghrelin levels are often lower than in people of normal weight. Studies have also shown that after obese people eat a meal, ghrelin only decreases slightly. Because of this, the hypothalamus doesn’t receive as strong of a signal to stop eating, which can lead to overeating.
#2 Eat protein at every meal, especially breakfast. High protein meal like lean chicken meat, tofu, paneer etc gives better feeling of satiety and fullness, thus discouraged overeating.
