Why Am I Always Hungry

Why am I always hungry?? I'm 15!?

Maybe because you are growing still also did you know that half the time your body is feeling hungry it really means that you are thirsty and so if you were to eat but drink some glasses of water or diluted juice you would not have to worry about gaining weight

For some people, it's puzzling, irritating hunger that makes them want to pick at food constantly. Others describe sharp cravings that demand immediate satisfaction. Regardless, the effect is the same: Despite increasing their physical activity (perhaps the key weight loss technique), they can't lose unwanted pounds. But a little-known fact both helps explain these food pangs - and provides a means to deal with them: Sometimes thirst masquerades as hunger. So you may think your body is asking for food when what it's actually asking for is water. Your body needs water - a lot of water, every day - more than anything else except oxygen. WE can live without food for a week or more if necessary, but not without water. If your body has just 2 percent less than it requires, you'll feel fatigued. A 10 percent shortfall can produce significant health risks. A week without water can be fatal.

Why am I always hungry????

No one ever died from a hunger pang. Sometimes it is just that you want to reach for something. Know how many calories a day your body needs. So you won't gain or lose past what you want to be. Every women should keep a journal of what you eat.
when you consume the right amount of calories stop eating.
I read a sign at a WW meeting. "Your stomach doesn't have a brain let it use yours." Go to weight Watchers and get on a balanced diet you can stay on the rest of your life.
As you age you want to exercise less and eat more. So you have to conscienciely do the oposite. That is why so many older people gain weight. They also have a sign that says "NO one ever died from a hunger pang." That is normal drink a glass of water. Eat a sno cone that is diet soda and shaved ice.

By the way, I'm not chubby or fat or anything. I'm skinny.
All answers are greatly appreciated:)

Why am I always hungry? (teen)?

You are growing. You need extra calories to support your growth. You are hungry because you are consuming the wrong types of calories. You should be eating lots of protein, lots of raw veggies (salad) lots of steamed veggies. You are eating raw sugar in brownies and cookies. No nutritional value at all. The same goes for chips, crackers bread, dips. Your body is a machine that has 2 choices of fuel - sugar or fat. If you give your body lots of sugar it will burn the sugar and store the fat. Not good.

Since you are in a growth stage you do need more carbs than an adult but you need complex carbs. When my step-son was in high school he was on the wrestling team. He would come home from school and eat a huge bag of chips and a 3 liter bottle of soda in nothing flat. That did nothing for him. I started making pasta salad with shrimp or ham. He ate that, felt full and had plenty of energy. I got rid of the sodas and stocked sport drinks and lots of water. B liked water with lime juice squeezed in it.

Get rid of the junk food and sweets. Eat lots of lean protein, lots of raw fresh veggies, lots of steamed veggies, and complex carbs (bread, pasta, rice, grits, oatmeal, potatoes) once a day. To curb the urge for sweets eat simple car bs like fruit. Apples, oranges, grapes, bananas, pears, pineapple. A couple of great deserts - fresh pineapple. It should be tender to the touch and very gold. That is ripe. Peel the rind, cut into 1/2" slices put on the grill or in a hot skillet. Let the bottom lightly brown. turn and drizzle with a very little bit of honey. When bottom is toasted remove from grill and enjoy. A very small scoop (1/4 cup) of vanilla ice cream on top is to die for. 1 slice only! Core a small apple and stuff the cavity with butter, dark brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla. Bake at 350 degrees until soft. Serve with 1/2 cup french vanilla ice cream. Yes you can have lovely sweets just not the fudge and cookies. Make it a little more complex and ALWAYS remember portion control.

You may want to consider consulting a nutrition specialist. Do be wary. You want a high protein low carb diet. Protein will build your muscles and help you with growth. A minimum amount of complex carbs will provide you with energy. Simple carbs from fruit will satisfy your craving for sweets.

Good luck and healthy eating.

Why am i always hungry when i'm bored?

There's a relationship between stress (and even boredom) and your stomach. The acids inside it will be released more if you're in stressful situation (I suppose you're not only bored but felt bit stress as well)...

By the way, if you just felt bored about doing nothing, it may caused by several reasons such as eating too much, heartburn, drinking too much coffee and tea, etcetera.

Since I love to read books, I also have the same thing happened to me ~ but I'm suffering from heartburn, therefore you know what was that supposed to be...



Anyway, good luck! Don't be a night owl ~ it's one of the causes you'll starve to death suddenly! ~
