Why am I so hungry lately?

[LovelySerene]

I've been really hungry lately and craving certain foods, and I get automatically hungry again right after eating... Why am I so hungry?

I just had a thought... I used to never drink much water, but now I've been drinking nothing but water for the past week. I just bought one of those infuser tumblers that I can put fruit in...

and I've been using it non stop... could this be why?

Constant hunger could signal that your input of simple carbs might have increased, as in your adding fruit to your water. Candy, syrup, and yes even fruits can cause insulin spikes which, once they have taken care of the sugars, tend to become insulin dives, leading you to feel hungry.

You sound as though your water consumption per se has been voluntary and not a result of intensified thirst. If thirst is the issue, you might want to check your blood sugar levels on a daily basis, and before you've had anything to eat in the morning. It's an aggravating but simple procedure, but it can tell you a lot about how well your regulatory system is going.

It's just hormones at work, don't worry about it. It could also be you're body trying to cope with stress too. If you know that could be the reason, I'd try to "strave" the feeling. If not, it's honestly just you're hormones.

[LovelySerene]

I guess I have been a bit stressed

[Diffrent]

Try to maybe get rid of you're stress with some physical activities. Anything you'd like that you know for sure would work for letting go of stress. If the urge stops, it was that. If not, just maybe be urges or hormones actin up. I'm sure you'll be fine though. :]

[LovelySerene]

I can't do a lot of physical activity though

[Diffrent]

We could talk it over in messages if you'd like too. If you don't mind telling me why you're stress that is. If not, I'd imagine finding something that would help you cope, doesn't mean it has to be time consuming but, works for you.

[LovelySerene]

Sure we can chat, just shoot me a message

[caro_withatwist]

It could be hormones or metabolism, but also check out worms. People can get worms just by eating raw unwashed foods or inadvertently touching their mouth after having hands in dirt. Also, hypoglycemia (a blood sugar disease) causes people to be overly-hungry. Type 2 diabetes is also a possibility.

[LovelySerene]

I go to the doctor regularly, but I can have them test me

[Pluviophile]

This is a weird question, but are you on birth control? Because when I was I had these weird food cravings and ate a lot of food then I did when I was off the birth control.

[LovelySerene]

No, I'm not on birth control

[Pluviophile]

oh then i have no idea

[BEatenyou]

Yes! we are mostly water. So drinking more water creates a reaction known as rehydration. Most people do not know that their dehydrated. So drinking more water will cause the body to function at a real pace. We as a species are suppose to eat 7 small meals a day. Excrete two to five times a day haha, and urinate five to seven times a day. Your actually getting healthier... congratulations.

[LovelySerene]

Hehe as long as I don't gain weight from eating more than usual... but thanks!

[BEatenyou]

Well I didn't say that. Your just getting healthier. Their is nothing healthy about being skinny, but their is something sexy in knowing you will outlive most super models.

[LovelySerene]

Oh I don't care about looks, but I'm disabled so any extra weight put pressure to my joints and it hurts, I'm 115 right now, and I am trying to get down to 95lbs, not for looks, but that's the healthiest weight for my size and structure.

[LovelySerene]

Man I can't spell tonight... any extra weight put's pressure on my joint's and it's very painful*

[BEatenyou]

Well then I suggest keep drinking water withe the fruit awesome combo. And just watch what you eat really. Since, most food made today isn't exactly healthy. Unless you spange for the super healthy stuff at the organic section or organic co-op.

[LovelySerene]

Yeah, I'm just trying to be more healthy

[catguy]

sorry to butt into this convo, but i was wondering what are the best types of fruit in your opinion?

[LovelySerene]

To put with the water? Strawberries are good, I've done a mix of strawberries, blueberries and blackberries... peaches were really subtle, but good... I've been using lemons the past couple days, and it's really good, probably my favorite so far.

[BEatenyou]

cucumbers are essential for quick hydration. Lemon slices and Lime juice is great for vitamin C to wake you up. Orange peels are good for your digestive tract. Berries like black, blue, boysen, marion are really only for flavor. Strawberries are apparently not berries haha. Cherries are berries and there perfect for sleeping, just take out the pit. Pits and seeds carry cyanide in them, drinking water with seeds could kill you.

[Keyspirits]

Omg talken about starvation, i am so effen hungry right now as well :c
We need to go to da grocery store and bring back all da goodies to the couch with us while putting on a horror mpvies and than enjoy the night!

your metabolism is very fast. It means whatever you eat gets digested very quickly. you need to yoga to control your metabolism.

[LovelySerene]

I physically cannot do yoga

[UPENDRA123]

Can i know why? is there any problem with body?

[LovelySerene]

I'm disabled

[UPENDRA123]

Ok. but still you dont have to do any exercise. in yoga. if you are able to sit , then, just take kong breathe by nose in a fix order.

[LovelySerene]

That sounds like meditation, not yoga

[UPENDRA123]

you can say it is a part of yoga. in meditation u have to concentrate and in yoga u have to just breathe in and out

[LovelySerene]
