Sometimes so hungry I'm nauseous..?

kie_kie

this use to happen to me too except i wudnt get nauseous i would get so dizzy i felt like i was going to faint. What i did to kind of fix the issue was adding more to my breakfast. I started to add fresh and dried fruits to my yogurt and scheduled snacks in between meals. And i switched up my breakfast for each morning and tried to have some form of animal protein in the mix.

This worked for me I hope it helps.

Sounds to me that it might be low blood pressure? I know i naturally have low blood pressure and if i don't drink enough water or get enough sodium even after a short time i feel quite dizzy, lightheaded and nauseous.

In my opinion, greek yogurt is a snack. If I have it at breakfast I would add some granola, fruit and nuts. Or oats and fruit. Or a couple of eggs.

My Dr. said when eating any kind of yogurt to have a string cheese (or some kind of serving cheese) with it. Another idea would be to change your breakfast, maybe have a protein shake instead that will stick with you for a bit.

You probably need to check your sugar, you can get a meter and test strips for under $20 (strips will run about $10 every 50) I am a diabetic and that is how I feel when my sugar goes off norm rapidly.

I wouldn't advise consuming protein before your workout. Wait until after. The reason is because if you are strength training (which you should be) you are breaking down muscles. Protein rebuilds them. Pre-workout you want to choose something with a small amount of caffeine and a B vitamin complex to supply you with the energy you need to perform your best!
Again you may hear different stories about caffeine but seek the advice of experts - again I refer to Michael Colgan who has trained Olympic athletes and written dozens of books on the subject of training, nutrition and fitness.

Cheese is not considered a optimum source of protein. People can argue this point but there are better sources.
Cheese is mainly for taste and not nutrition. And that sucks because I LOVE CHEESE!!!!

I would swap out the current flavoured non-fat greek yoghurt for full fat plain and mix in a wee bit of protein powder even.

I eat plain yogurt with fruit (fresh or frozen) & sliced natural almonds. Unsweetened coconut flakes make it extra tasty, too.
I don't drink black coffee. I add unsweetened original almond milk which has a huge calcium bonus. It took me a number of months to wean myself off sweetened coffee by decreasing the sweetener little by little. Now if I have it with sweetener, it's just gross to me.
I have three children and they won't eat plain yogurt but love the flavored yogurt, so I tell them to only eat one a day as a treat because the sugar content sometimes rivals ice cream. I don't buy light for them because I don't want them eating artificial sweeteners because there's just not enough conclusive research out there to indicate AS are safe for kids.

That yogurt sounds amazing. I'm doing groceries today, I think I'll try switching to DIY yogurt this week and see if it helps. I had also not considered almond milk... My issue there is that I don't do coffee pre-exercise. I go to the gym then stop for coffee on my way to work and haven't found a place with anything non-dairy/unsweetened. I do regular half n half at home but im a sucker for that York peppermint creamer at the gas station. Starbucks isn't open when I'm headed to work at 5:30am.n Perhaps just cutting out the pre-made yogurt sugar will help enough though. Thanks!

You're welcome!
I eat a clementine & drink a small cup of coffee before then gym, and then I go home & eat my real breakfast with more coffee.
Ground flax seed is another nice add-in for protein, omegas, and fiber.
I've read several articles touted the benefits of chia seeds, so I want to try those.

Not sure what exactly causes it, but I know I went to far when I hit that point so I eat right away.

I'm the same way, it's all tied up with blood sugar levels. If you eat something very sugary or carb loaded like yogurt tends to be you can get sugar crashes. Mine also occurs if I haven't eaten for a while and my levels are too low. When that happens I get 4 stages. 1. Shakey. I can't hold on to anything or pick things up or write. 2. Cranky, like bite the head off of someone if they don't feed me HANGRY. 3. Faint feeling like I'm going to pass out. 4. Vomiting. I will actually be sick if I don't eat. All of these stages happen quickly, in the course of 10-20 minutes from the time they start. I don't have diabetes but am very sensitive to my blood sugar levels.

I have had this problem too. I could not figure out why. I just built in a snack into my routine before it happened. Good luck!

I get that way. Usually first thing in the morning when I haven't eaten in 12+ hours but that is when I decide to eat a little bit of something and drink some water and then not eat again until I know for certain that I am hungry.

Thank you to everyone! I got some really good ideas here and I'm going to try switching up my breakfast. I changed the "fiber" module in my diary to "sugar" so I can watch that too since I'm not overly concerned with fiber at 30 years old. I've got a good base to go one to try to fix this problem

It happens to me occasionally. Used to happen to me all the time when I had breakfast, but it stopped... Plain tea or coffee made it way worse for me.
