Hungry

Usually when I'm upset about something morethan, I think you've had some upsets recently, could that be it? I sometimes wish stress would kill my appetite, sadly it has the opposite effect.

Apparently there are all sorts of things going inside us which decide whether we will have a hungry day or just feel "normal". I read an interesting article on this the other day, needless to say I have forgotten where and the exact science, but it made sense at the time!

If you've had a hard time recently, perhaps you haven't been eating as much as usual and today your body has decided to make up the deficit. Just an idea. Have another banana sandwich - you can feel them doing you good!

Have a fried banana sarnie .....there's a thought.
It could be the very cold weather that's the culprit.

I thought that it may be because it's been cold rosesarered that's I wondered if anyone felt the same. Feel a bit on the bloated side this morning. I'm not surprised though. I probably put on half a stone.

I'm doing Dry January and find myself scoffing anything sweet and calorie-laden when I would normally be imbibing my 'glass or two'. Roll on 1st Feb.

Eating for 2 morethan2 ?

If you eat carbs and sugar you will want more and feel hungry

If you eat protein you will probably not feel so hungry

If your hunger becomes long-term and serious it may indicate a hormone imbalance. Then it may be time to see your doctor or a Nutritional Therapist from BANT

When I experience this repeated hunger 'thing' I pander to it with a couple of teaspoons of unadulterated Greek yoghurt. A message of relief seems to come from my brain (that again!) 'Relax. Food's coming' and the pangs subside. Yep, I'm obviously a mental wreck! Seems to work though.

I have been dry since 1st Jan but have additionally cut down almost all cards except for porridge in the morning. Yesterday I found I was starving and scoffed a whole pizza! I think our bodies send us messages!

CarBs

I think when it's very cold you tend to eat more!

I have had a huge croissant with an equally huge dollop of lemon curd with it and a chopped banana for brekkie.

I have been eating like a horse for the past 10 days or so whether its the cold or not I have no idea I've eaten fried breakfast more often, stodgy puds and cakes but having weighed myself this morning expecting to of put on pounds at the very least I find I weigh slightly less than I did 3wks ago, how does that happen? Maybe if I stuff my face enough I'll actually lose the stone I need to lose without depriving myself

I occasionally have days when I'm really hungry and I find that a bowl of porridge sorts me out ! It's warm and filling and you can add honey and cinnamon to add flavour

Now that's my kind of diet tanith

Perhaps you are suffering some vitamin or mineral deficiency and your body might be 'telling' you to rectify the problem. I know I am in need of vitamins C and D at the moment and am going to buy some multivits. Otherwise, the cold winter weather needs extra fuel to keep us warm.

I should wait for the hunger pangs to pass and if they don't, go and see the doc to get it checked out.

If it continues perhaps you should ask to have your thyroid tested; a hyperactive thyroid can make you very hungry.

Wish I could have an eat less day!

I agree with roses and others who think it's the weather! Last week I went back to SW, had only gained 3lb over 10 weeks absence - phew!!
Trying hard this week to lose those 3lb but it's cold!! Porridge helps, mine half milk half water with cinnamon and sweetener, sometimes fruit too.

I find I'm always more hungry if I haven't slept well. There's a scientific reason apparently- your body produces more ghrelin (the hunger hormone) if you're sleep deprived.

I'm afraid I'm always hungry, my DH says I'm a pig! I am

Just back from work: the most appetising thing in the canteen was a chip butty with tomato ketchup, being eaten by one of the health professionals. I nearly stole it.

I usually find that when I am forever hungry, I 'go down' with a cold a couple of days later. Hope this doesn't happen to you!
