Does anyone else get hungry right after brushing their teeth?

[bubble_tea]

I never feel hungry before I brush my teeth, but the feelings starts 5-15 mins after I brushed my teeth. Does anyone experience this? What do you do?
Why do you think this happens? Am I mistaking thirst for hunger?

Yes, sometimes.

No, never.

[ScruffyNerfHerder]

Haha, I actually brush my teeth to cut myself off from eating anything more. I've turned it into a bit of a trigger in that way.

Mistaking thirst for hunger? I read that that is actually extraordinarily common and that when most people feel hungry, it's actually thirst. Try a glass of water then wait 20 - 30 minutes to see if you still feel hungry/thirsty--if so, you may actually be hungry.

nah. I always make sure im satisfied before I clean my mouth hahaa.

[bubble_tea]

me too.. but this still happens -.- I wonder why

[BertMacklinFBI]

drink green tea!

[bubble_tea]

Does it work better than drinking water? Cuz that's what I do.. but I'm still hungry :(

[BertMacklinFBI]

green tea helps suppress my hunger/appetite and its good for your system and metabolism.

Ok, I'll try this

I’ve experienced this my entire life and people have always thought I was lying. I’ve asked the dentist, I’ve asked my general doctor, and no one believes me. Every night when I brush my teeth, I’m immediately starving afterwords. Even if I’ve just eaten and entire meal. I think it’s the mint flavor that does it.

Yes it happened sometimes but I tried to resist temptation to eat.

[bubble_tea]

How long do you have to wait until the hunger goes away?

[kangy]

Till next morning haha

Even if I do, when I'm in bed, I know that if I open my beautiful eyes, get off bed and go eat a snack, I won't sleep easily again. If it happens at daytime after brushing my teeth I'll just eat. But I haven't observed this phenomen.

[bubble_tea]

So you'd try to sleep with a hungry stomach?
It's frustrating when it happens, because I can't sleep when I'm hungry.

[SurströmmingLover]

I know but I really struggle to sleep again after getting off bed

[Klaatu51]

never

brushing your teeth doesn't cause any hunger

[bubble_tea]

Are you accusing me of lying? 😡

[TheEnding]

It's more the opposite actually. The taste of toothpaste in my mouth makes me not want to touch food for a while.

[bubble_tea]

I know :( food taste so much worse with the taste of toothpaste in my mouth.. but I still do it, because I'm hungry.

[TheEnding]

Wow, I could not do that lol. Toothpaste completely turns me off to food.

[bubble_tea]

So you'd rather starve? I cannot starve..

[TheEnding]

I just don't feel hunger after I do it, for at least an hour usually.

[zorro8888]

Nope when I first wake up or brush my teeth it will be hours before I eat.

[yulbsari]

Only after exercise of some kind...

[JackKerouac77]

Pretty much always

[bubble_tea]

What do you do? Give in and eat or wait it out?

[JackKerouac77]

Just eat. You're going to brush your teeth again later anyways.

[bubble_tea]

I don't have to brush them again if I don't eat anymore :/

[JackKerouac77]

I think you're dwelling a bit too much on this, but that's just me.

[bubble_tea]

Sorry that I can't make up questions as great as yours -.-

Usually I'd just eat.. but it's annoying and I wanna hear tricks how to stop it from happening.

[JackKerouac77]

All my questions are nonsense ramblings. No worries.

Perhaps only brush your teeth when you're ready to go to bed? Or after eating, so you're full anyways?

[bubble_tea]

Yup.. I do that.. and bam, the hunger's back even though I was full 15 mins ago.

[JackKerouac77]

You're hopeless!
