The newborn will demonstrate hunger cues by making sucking motions with her lips and mouth, bringing hands to the mouth or face, and “rooting” where the newborn turns her head to the side in search of the breast or bottle when mouth or cheek is touched. Late signs of hunger include crying, exhaustion, and falling asleep. It may take several days before the infant learns to properly latch on to the breast and develop a rhythmic feeding pattern of suck-swallow-breathe.
Lifestyle and Diet

Food addiction or eating addiction is a type of behavioral addiction that is a compulsive overeating of palatable foods. People with food addictions lose control over their eating behavior and find themselves spending excessive amounts of time involved with food and overeating (142–143). Like addictive drugs, palatable foods trigger good brain chemicals such as the neurotransmitter dopamine. As a result, people keep eating, even when they are not hungry or they know the negative consequences of overeating, such as obesity, diabetes, and CVDs (142). The evidence further suggests that certain foods, particularly processed foods with added sweeteners and fats, demonstrate the greatest addictive potential. Though both behavioral and substance-related factors are implicated in the addiction process, symptoms appear to better fit criteria for substance use disorder than behavioral addiction (143).
Diabetes

In response to a high blood glucose level, the pancreas produces more insulin. Hyperinsulinemia means an abnormally high level of insulin in the blood. It is often caused by insulin resistance, but not always. Symptoms of hyperinsulinemia may include weight gainintense hungercravings for sugarfeeling frequently hungrydifficulty concentratingfatiguepoor concentration

The STZ-NA model of T2DM, employed in this study, has been established as an animal diabetic model. Consistently, the present in vivo study found that after induction with STZ and NA, the mice significantly developed stable hyperglycemia, polyuria, polydipsia, and weight loss, even though the food intake was increased compared with that of normal mice. These physical and biochemical evidences indicated a successful induction of diabetes in experimental mice. Insufficient insulin levels in T2DM cause a lack of glucose to produce energy, then body starts to metabolize fat and protein in the muscle for energy demands, causing a reduction in overall bodyweight. This lack of energy may cause an increase in hunger, then stimulate appetite, and subsequently increase food intake. Differently from untreated STZ-NA-induced DM mice, a continuous treatment with the LS extract for 28-day improved bodyweight which was similar to that of glibenclamide.

Interoceptive deficits (ID) are defined as an inability to perceive the physiological condition of the body, and are often associated with difficulties recognizing and responding to physiological sensations, such as pain and hunger.18 ID have been found to consistently and strongly associated with disordered eating behavior among college-aged individuals,19,20 with more severe disordered eating symptoms associated with more ID.13 Eating disorder symptoms such as suppressing internal signals of hunger depend on a heightened ability to disconnect from the body.21 Therefore, the more one disconnects from the body, the easier it is to continue disordered eating behaviors. For example, engaging in restrictive eating involves disconnecting the body from the mind, habituating the body to pain, and ignoring the biological instinct to survive.22 Similarly, college students who engage in self-harming behaviors have been shown to have a higher pain tolerance than controls, suggesting they may have more ID.23

The obesity and underweight both are contributed by several factors and they can be combated through psychological support, physical activities, and healthy eating patterns. About 500 to 750 kcal need to be reduced by overweight and obese people. A healthy diet should include fruits, vegetables, legumes, fish, whole grains, and a moderate amount of non-fat dairy products. The diet needs to be low in total meat, refined grains, sugar-sweetened beverages, and sodium. Eating nuts helps in maintaining optimum weight (O’Neil et al. 2015). To preserve lean tissue during weight loss, sufficient protein needs to be taken in the diet (Phillips et al. 2016). To lose weight faster, smaller portions of food and food with lower energy density can be chosen. A Mediterranean eating pattern is compatible with a healthy weight loss. Avoiding alcohol is another step towards weight loss. It is suggested to eat small and frequent meals to maintain weight. Drinking lots of water ease hunger and reduce the intake of energy.
