Sparkly Eyes Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 So since last week, I feel like I am constantly hungry or just crave food and can't get it out of my head. Can it be because of any specific reason? I started a new pack of BC last week, but I have been on it for like 7 months so I'm not sure if it can be related. last week I gained 3 or 4 pounds Any idea why am I like this or how can I control it?

Christiana Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 maybe your pregnant? or about to have your period. maybe stress to? tyhat makes some people hungry. try drinking more fluids, they seem to fill u up at times when u are hungry.

gidget1 Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 It could be a number of things! I'd just ask you what kind of food you crave, and what kind of food you actually eat. Some foods burn a lot quicker than others, leaving you hungry again in like half an hour,. Edit: Like christiana said, drink more liquids, especially lots of water. It fills me up and is necessary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkly Eyes Posted September 25, 2009 Author Share Posted September 25, 2009 yeah, I guess specially something like diet soda might help. I finished my period like 10 days ago and I can't be pregnant...is being hungry a lot a sign of pregnancy? I crave all kinds of food, I just want to eat, I think I crave carbs, sweet stuff the most Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cantexplain Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 I crave all kinds of food, I just want to eat, I think I crave carbs, sweet stuff the most Sugar can be addictive, I believe. The body derives quick energy out of it. The reward is nearly immediate. You may need to retrain your brain to crave less carbs. Is your BF (body fat) in range? If so, I wouldn't worry about this at all!! You just might need the quick energy! Just make sure you are getting the nutrition you need with a healthy balance of proteins and fats and vitamins and minerals ... along with all those carbs. Try to avoid carbs at the end of the day unless you need more body fat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jd1983 Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 I used to have cravings when I was bored. Are you eating because you're bored or just to eat? Definitely drink more water or find something to keep you occupied so you don't think of eating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
