According to a 2017 study on jet lag's effect on hunger hormones, travel across multiple time zones can disrupt the body's natural hunger cues. This physiological response, combined with the stress of a new environment and altered routine, often leads to a suppressed appetite for many travelers.

Research shows that for many, acute stress or excitement triggers a 'fight or flight' response that can suppress hunger. This helps explain the common phenomenon: why do I not feel hungry on holiday? The shift in routine and environment can significantly alter your body's natural signals.
