I dont get hungry anymore? Sometimes I wake up at the middle of the might because of hunger pains and I dont understand why?

So for some reason i rarely get hungry anymore, at all.. eating is pretty much a chore for me right now. I'll eat because i know if i'll be tired etc if i dont, but i have kinda lost the joy i had over food.

Like i said, i rarely get hunrgy, and when i eat i only have to eat maybe one or two spoon fuls before im not hungry anymore. I eat so little these days that i have experiencing waking up either very early in the morning (5-7) or late at night (2-4 PM) because of hunger pains because i haven't eat enough.. But the thing is that when i go to bed i dont feel hungry.

Anyone else that have experienced this? why is this happening?

I have this when it is particularly hot like in the summer. I also had it when i first went to university. I had gone through a tough time before and it was all new and strange being at uni. Sounds like you might have just lost your appetite. For me i tend to eat more fruit and yoghurt or liquids etc. I would also suggest eating little but more often, that should hopefully stop the hunger pains in the night. My tummy doesn't like eating a large meal and i get cramps after.

Same with the feeling hungry thing. I get hungry but after a couple bites I'm good which is kind of normal for me since I don't eat a lot anyway. I'm sort of going through what you are going through now since I got my wisdom teeth out. All I have really had is soup, mashed potatoes, pizza, and a little bit of crab meat. I feel hungry but I can't eat much.

Your body is in hoarding mode. Make sure you are eating a lot of protein. If not your body will metabolize its own muscles to sate its need for protein.

But why?

[HereForTheDay]

you must have cut back your diet.

[Asker]

maybe.. i dont know.. i was planning to go on a super healthy diet, but i never did... so thats interesting..

Yeah smoking and coffee block the hunger feeling as does depression. If your healthy and not underweight your fine.

[Asker]

I drink coffee once a day and have for the last two years, but it has never been a problem. And I healthy so I guess im fine

[Climber]

You feel depressed about something?

[Asker]

no, i dont think so... i mean i want to date, but i can't seem to find a guy... but that has always been a problem for me so i doubt that the problem... im not necessarly happy but saying im depressed about something feels like taking it too far

[Climber]

@asker OK you are not happy and that is not exactly the best feeling to be hungry. So tackle the unhappy feeling problem. If you don't have a good friend (girl or man) to talk about it, look for a helpline. Here we have anonymous helplines you can call and they can give you directions to go further. Good luck :-) x

It's because you are dehydrated
