Quick Hunger After Eating Cornflakes

[Beswad]

I occasionally enjoy a large bowlful of cornflakes and every time I eat the darn thing, hunger sets in after 4 hours I feel like I haven't eaten in days, my stomach and hands starts to feels weak. What is it in the cornflakes that gives this side effect? I'd be interesting to know if anyone experience the same symptoms.

Carbohydrates give you a quick fix but equally a quick low. If you eat a protein based meal it keeps you full for longer. If I eat a carb breakfast I have hunger pangs a couple of hours later. If I eat a protein breakfast I sometimes forget to eat lunch as I'm not hungry at all.

I remember on the TV many years ago, an eccentric scientist said there was more nutrition in the corn flake box than the flakes themselves.
Odd that. Worked in Cereal Partners, cereal manufacturers for 18 years. Just odd.

I find a Full English at 9am keeps me going until lunchtime at 12.

I'm the same AL. If I have carb based meals I just want more food and more carbs...and not necessarily the so-called healthy ones.

(a) At this rate, I don’t think the rude *** is going to comment on our answers.

(b) Porridge takes 5 minutes in a saucepan, and if you use a stainless steel one, it won’t be any harder to clean than the inside of your microwave.

Beswad, a bowl of cornflakes wouldn't last me for four hours either, maybe have something else with them.

I started eating cornflakes a few weeks ago for breakfast. A big bowl at that! They don't keep you satisfied for long. I get shaky too if I don't eat at regular times. I've gone back to porridge which keeps me fuller for longer, most of the time I have a banana with it too.
