Short YouTube video by Jim Katsoulis explaining three reasons a diet can make you hungrier: (1) sudden over-restriction of calories causing physiological hunger, (2) focusing on calorie reduction rather than sufficient nutrition leading to hunger signals, and (3) psychological feelings of deprivation after removing favorite foods.

Three reasons your diet's making you hungrier. Number one, you're over restricting. You're going from your normal calories to some drastic cut in a day and it's freaking your body out and making you super hungry. Number two, you're focusing more on cutting calories than you are increasing nutrition. When you're not getting enough nourishment into your body, your body sends you a hunger signal. And number three is you feel deprived because you've completely cut out your favorite foods and now you're freaking out that you can never eat them again.
