Is insulin a natural hormone that affects our appetite?

What is insulin?

Insulin is sometimes called the hunger hormone because it stimulates people to eat.

When insulin is released in normal people minutes after they start eating, it may cause them to feel hungrier than they thought they were when they started eating.

But upon completing their meal they feel satisfied - their insulin level drops and their brains get the signal to stop eating.
