When you eat, your digestive tract breaks down food into nutrients. One of them is a sugar called glucose. The wall of your digestive tract absorbs the glucose, then releases it into your bloodstream. The glucose in your digestive tract triggers it to release GLP-1. GLP-1 slows the movement of food out of your stomach. Your brainstem can also release GLP-1. It may be caused by stress or eating a large meal. This GLP-1 acts on hunger areas of your brain, such as the hypothalamus, to make you feel less hungry."}
