I get so famished even though I've eaten a full meal. No matter what I eat, I'm still hungry. I drink plenty of water and eat what I normally eat (healthy stuff, not junk). Not pregnant or any other health problems.

It's just that I can't get rid of this hunger. It's usually for 1-3 days in a month or maybe longer (I haven't really kept track of when it happens)...but it's been like this for quite sometime.

Anyone else get this? I know some who get really hungry after a full meal too...wonder why that is.

Honey, it's your period. About a week before mine, I get so hungry I start gnawing on my desk (kidding - sorta). I just feel absolutely ravenous for a few days and no amount of food will sate it. It's hormones I guess. I've heard lots of women talk about this.

Does it happen around your period or all the time? Also, are you eating enough protein?

I've had some days where I can't seem to eat enough. Doesn't seem to happen as much as it used to.

That's what I thought too but I'm not due to get my period for another 1.5 week at least. Does make sense that it's hormonal though...but I'm glad that I'm not the only one. I've eaten so much today and I'm still hungry!!

I'm going to monitor this better so I know when it happens...I usually eat a lot more fish but I haven't been for the last little while...but I get like this even when I do it eat regularly.

It might be your body trying to tell you something. Asking for a particular kind of food, maybe? Or maybe your body needs more food to cure an illness? Or the 'stop-eating' switch isn't working?

y'all must've guessed that I will chime in on this one.


I paid way big money to learn this so please pay attention.


Your body has two chemicals to send into your blood stream
to signal "hunger".
One is for sugar. One is for fat.
It does not have one for protien.

If you, in particular, are good at knowing when YOU, in particular, want protien then you were probably raised in a home with very good food.
This is, still, called 'anecdotal evidence' and has nothing to do with the rest of people.
When you eat sugar or fat and you are still hungry,
your body needs protien.
My compliments to Chambers92.
You are one of the few...

If you think that I am wrong,
all I am telling you to do is have a decent serving of protien so
I am, clearly, not sending you into danger.

"How much is a decent serving?" I hear you ask on the psychic channel.
One whole chicken breast...
similar size of beef, fish or pork.
...four yogurts, yes. FOUR.
Protien bars are another great choice.
PS. protien does not breakdown well.
It needs to be consumed with vitamin "C".
Have orange juice with your meat or tomatoes or lemon or -even - a vitamin "C" pill.
OJ, banana and protien bar are great and easy to get.
READ THE LABEL. You'll want a protien bar with 30 grams.
PPS. DO NOT eat more protien than this at a time.
Too much protien IS poisonous

Well theres a strike against my theory ...and before i could even suggest what she might CRAVING!!!

I think Teri is right. I didn't read her reply properly...she said a week before her period she gets the same way. The constant hunger is gone now for the most part

Are you saying what I think you're saying?

I get those "cravings" before and during that time of the month too

Heavy_monkey2.0

well im not talking about a lolipop....


ASL??!!


Bad jokes.... i buy 'em in bulk

I was going to suggest the period thing as well.

I didn't take the time to read your thread about dating, but I will say that the day after my GF and I tear off a piece, I can't stop eating!


I'm not even a little overweight, but on those days, I just can't seem to satisfy my hunger.


So...although I didn't read your other thread, I'm speculating about the changes in your "physical activity"
