I love food and I love to eat but you would think after eating a big meal that I would be full....for about an hour maybe and then I want to eat again. I'm always hungry, I eat and half an hour later I'm looking for something to snack on. I never feel really full to the point that I can't eat no more, I actually just have to stop myself from eating more just course I already had to servings . I think I have a tape worm....Are you always hungry, some people are never hungry( I couldn't imagine that)

Might be you have a tapeworm if you are very skinny or you have a hormonal problem. It also can have to do with the fact you eat the wrong kind of food, the one that is not really filling you. Or.. you don't know how hunger feels for real! So before you start eating again ask yourself first if you have stomach hunger or it's just in your mind/brains!

there are times that it happen to me,feel that i am hungry all the time,but its not a good practice to our body because we should control it so that we will never be an obese person,but i observe that the most who always hungry all the time are those who moves always time to time because they consume their energy.

Hi Missy Maybe next time you have a Doctors appointment have your sugar levels checked this can sometimes be a problem.

I thought of that and sometimes I have them poke me at work but they say it's OK.

Haha :-)... It sometimes happens with me as well, I eat so much that sometimes I feel embarrassed to eat with other people and thinking what they might be thinking of me. But the good thing with me is it comes in phases. It happens for 1-2 months then it becomes okay and I come to normal eating. During my eating phase I see my diet and make sure that I do not consume more than required calories by eating healthy food and avoiding junk food to keep myself fit.

I also don't like eating around other people , I eat really fast , when my boyfriend and I have dinner I'm already done and he's still not even half way through his plate. Maybe that's a problem too...I eat to fast so i feel like I didn't have enough

Yes, its also recommended by the dieticians and I have read it several times that one should always eat slowly, chewing the food properly and enjoying the food thoroughly.

I have always had a big appetite, which I thought would be done once I stopped growing, but I did things that allowed me to keep growing. I played a lot of football, and moved a lot of heavy stuff, even in weightlifting, so I have developed a serious appetite. Before I could say that my appetite was a combination of a football playing weightlifting teenage boy, but looking back, my appetite is bigger than before. I like it because I can get greedy and pig out, without getting full, and even if I did get full, it would only be an hour or two before I am looking for something else. How much food I can pig out on is vastly different than a normal person. Now, even in the middle of the night, I am looking for something to eat. My appetite alone is big enough for a family, so I can get pretty expensive to feed. Not only do I constant eat, but I eat more frequently, with bigger, heavier meals. Everything is turning into fuel. I don't eat light just because it doesn't feel as if I have eaten.

Funny, I get up sometimes at night and just go and have a cookie or some chocolate and go back to sleep

Here for the past few days, I've really wanted to do nothing but eat, but for me that is something that definitely is not typical. I really do tend to be the kind of person that only eats because of the fact that you have to eat in order to live. As far as thinking that you have a tapeworm, that is something that I seriously doubt. You see, there are some people that have a metabolism that is a lot higher than other people and therefore you can stay hungry because your body is burning energy so rapidly.

My metabolism used to be very slow but I think after the last time I lost weight everything changed somehow, plus I walk pretty much all day at work since it's a big facility and everything is so far and in between.

I'm hungry too most of the time but I have thyroid problems. My metabolism is too fast so I consume energy very fast and I need to eat. Otherwise I feel dizzy ans very week. I regain my strength by eating especially when I do physical work. If you are not too fat it's no problem. But you have to check what's the cause. I'm skinny even if I eat a lot.

I think I have some Thyroid issues too, I should actually have them checked

when you're hungry the best way to stop that is drink more water, this way is effective to me, try!

hi dear Missybear I know that meals are different in the US than they are here in good old GErmany, ingredients are different but I see it myself here. I am diabetic and when I wont stick to my healthy full grain lots of veggies style of eating I will have the same problems as you describe right now. For a few days I had to quit eating full grain bread and I find that I am hungry much quicker now and hope I can return to healthy food soon.

Well, being able to eat is quite a blessing for me. So you should be happy that you get hungry so fast. Just imagine if you are on a trip, you may just be able to try out all the food around the area. Anyway, maybe you should get used to eating just the three main meals a day. And restrict yourself from eating at other hours. If you really need to eat that badly, you can strike on vegetables or fruits which will not harm your body. Eating too much of other food may compromise your health. So be careful with that.

I really should eat more fruits and vegetables

well it is the best way to talk to a specialist, I had the problem like that few years ago, I was feeling too hungry that I would say I can eat alot, after starting to eat, with just one or two spoon I was feeling I am that much full that I want to throw up. but again I was feeling hungry but not able to eat that much. then I went to a stomach specialist and I had Helicobactes and swollen stomach, I was in treatment for a year and now I am fine. try to drink boil water and take more milk and yogurt.

Well, sometimes when you are always hungry, that could mean there is something wrong somewhere else. People who are Diabetic and do not know it are always hungry and thirsty. There could be other issues as well, or your metabolism works faster than it should. If you can eat extra stuff without really gaining anything extra, it is no big Worry I would think, but if you are gaining weight it might be something worth investigating.

I do have all the signs of a diabetic...always hungry and thirsty and i pee all the time. I have my sugar checked at work sometimes just to see and it's always perfect. My last blood test was about 5 years ago so i really should get it checked again.

I hardly eat because i always full. I don't eat bread, rice, pasta. I just eat lean meat like grilled chicken without the skin. Or fish. I avoid oily foods. Before i was always hungry. I think the more you eat rice and bread and sweets the more you feel hungry even after eating a lot.

Usually i'm not really hungry ever but lately i have been hungry all the time too. I gain weight too easily so i have to watch what i eat and how much i eat but it's ok at least i can eat what i want as long as it's not too much of it. If you think you have a tapeworm or something wrong with you as to why your hungry all the time go check with a doctor and see whats wrong.

I don't like going to the doctor, every time I go they always tell me I'm fine or it's Allergies, don't matter what my problem is. I do have a new doctor so maybe it's worth a try

Yes, like you do I am always hungry all the time too but I am not the kind of person who eats a lot. I just eat enough.Maybe, that's the reason that I can easily feel starving. I cannot eat without a companion also. I have no appetite if I have no companion in eating. I am enjoying my meal I have a company. lol.

I don't have that problem, I can eat alone or in company, I do eat more when I'm alone I think course i get bored easy

you could just have a very fast metabolism, which breaks down food quickly which explains why you are always hungry. if you work out a lot or play sports, then it would explain for why you are always hungry. if you don't participate in any of these activites then i would take a trip to the doctors.

I don't do any sports but I do a lot of walking all day at my job so that burns some calories I'm sure
