Hungry all the time, even after eating?

Posted by Beethoven Dvds on Tuesday, August 27, 2013
I've been trying to become fit through exercise and eating healthier for about three weeks now. But it seems like my hunger drive is all messed up!i have been getting hungry very shortly after eating. For example, yesterday I actually indulged and had a bacon cheeseburger. I felt hungry within 20 minutes of eating that when I should have been very full! Aside from that indulgence, I have been getting hungry about every two hours, which is really annoying, or even right after I eat a satisfying, healthy meal. What's going on? How do I reset body's malfunctioning hunger drive?Although I am trying to function at a calorie deficit to achieve weight loss, it is not a huge deficit, and I believe I have been eating a reasonable amount of calories. E.g, I have lost about 1 lb in the last week, so although I haven't been tracking calories, (I'm trying to change my lifestyle, not diet!) this rate of weight loss indicates to me that what I've been doing is reasonable.Yes, I have been drinking more than usual, actually. I figured it was the exercise causing me to do that, as I did not used to take in much fluids at all - maybe only 2-3 glasses a day. Now I'm sipping water all day long, so probably 5 glasses or so per day.Yes, my body fat % is quite high; I am exercising and eating to produce a calorie deficit that should result in a weight loss of 1-2 lbs per week. This hunger issue started after I started my exercise and changed my eating to be more healthy.

Is your body fat percentage outside the healthy range? Having a body fat percentage above or below the healthy range (6.0% to 17.9% for a male; 14.0% to 24.9% for a female) can have an effect on your hunger patterns. If this is the case, you may see improvements when you reach a healthy body fat percentage, and if you do not see improvements, you may want to see a doctor to determine what else could be affecting your hunger patterns. If you do not know your body fat percentage, you can calculate it at https://sites.google.com/site/calculateyourbmi/all-calculators/body-fat-percentage-excel_version/calcbodyfat-waistandhipsforchest .EDIT: Maybe you should talk to a doctor about it then. A doctor may be able to assess what could possibly cause the hunger. Or, you may need to evaluate your calorie intake. If the hunger started after you started exercising, you may just not be eating enough for the exercise you are doing. A metabolic calculator can be found at https://sites.google.com/site/calculateyourbmi/all-calculators/bmr-calculator , where you can calculate your basal metabolic rate (BMR) and use that BMR calculation with your activity level to estimate your total daily energy expenditure (TDEE), or daily calorie needs as that webpage calls it. You need to eat at least 80% of your TDEE to avoid starvation (a loss of 1 pound in a week indicates a deficit of 500 calories per day, and is therefore good only if you burn at least 2500 calories per day). If the problem still can't be resolved, you may want to see a doctor, who will likely do a full assessment of all possible causes of your hunger problem.Good luck.

Well I was playing soccer few minutes ago and we went through some training, and while we were scrimmaging I started to get cramps on both of my calves. First he right one then the left. I'm not sure what is the cause of it, I will say that I was wearing a weight-loss belt which made me sweat a lot and it might be that I was very well dehydrated, how could I stop getting cramps because this was the first practice and the season is just getting started.. any tips or pill recommendations to help deal with these?

Definition:A muscle cramp is a sudden and involuntary contraction of one or more of your muscles. If you've ever been awakened in the night or stopped in your tracks by a sudden charley horse, you know that muscle cramps can cause excruciating pain. Though generally harmless, muscle cramps can make it temporarily impossible to use the affected muscle.Long periods of exercise or physical labor, particularly in hot weather, may lead to muscle cramps. Some medications and certain medical conditions also may cause muscle cramps. You can usually treat muscle cramps at home with self-care measures._______________________________Symptoms:Most muscle cramps develop in the leg muscles, particularly the muscles in the calf. In addition to the sudden, sharp pain, you may also be able to feel or see a hard lump of muscle tissue beneath your skin._______________________________When to see a doctor:Muscle cramps usually disappear on their own and are rarely serious enough to require medical care. However, see your doctor if your cramps:- Cause severe discomfort- Are associated with leg swelling, redness or skin changes- Are associated with muscle weakness- Happen frequently- Don't improve with self-care- Aren't associated with an obvious cause, such as strenuous exercise_______________________________Causes:Overuse of a muscle, dehydration, muscle strain or simply holding a position for a prolonged period of time may result in a muscle cramp. In many cases, however, the exact cause of a muscle cramp isn't known._______________________________Treatments and drugs:You can usually treat muscle cramps with self-care measures. Your doctor can show you stretching exercises that can help you reduce your chances of getting muscle cramps. Making sure you stay well hydrated also can help. For recurrent cramps that disturb your sleep, your doctor might prescribe a medication to relax your muscles._______________________________Prevention:- Avoid dehydration. Drink plenty of liquids every day. The exact amount depends on what you eat, your sex, your level of activity, the weather, your health, your age and any medications you may be taking. Fluids help your muscles contract and relax and keep muscle cells hydrated and less irritable. During the activity, replenish fluids at regular intervals, and continue drinking water or other fluids after you're finished.- Stretch your muscles. Stretch before and after you use any muscle for an extended period. If you tend to have leg cramps at night, stretch before bedtime. Light exercise, such as riding a stationary bicycle for a few minutes before bedtime, also may help prevent cramps while you're sleeping._______________________________More information can be found in the link provided.

  • That's exactly correct what you said. If muscles get dehydrated, you get cramps. Therefore, make sure you drink as much as you can when training, playing and after.
