Question

Jessica joined friends at a local Chinese restaurant for dinner. She tried a bit of everyone's order and found that she was unable to finish her dinner and had the leftovers boxed up to take home. After returning home an hour later, Jessica opened the container and ate the leftovers. What was Jessica eating in response to?

Answer 1

Rapid fall in blood sugar

Step-by-step explanation:

Jessica was at the restaurant and was eating a bit off all the plates. She felt the sensation of being "full" and was not able to finish her own food. This could mean that during the snacking off each of the person's plates the rise in blood sugar caused her to feel full. The message sent to her brain was that she no longer needed food.

Once she was home the rapid fall in her blood sugar once again sent the message to her brain that she was hungry. At this point Jessica went back to the leftovers that she had brought along to finish.

Must be noted that there are derogatory claims to this phenomenon but this does not only occur in these types of restaurants but in many other types of restaurants as well.
