I just ate 30 minutes ago, why am i starving again?

My nutritionist told me that the brain can't differentiate well enough between thirst and hunger -- so when you think you're hungry, try drinking a bunch of water first and give it a while to see if that calms the urge. It usually helps for me Hope you find the answer you're looking for!

Try going for a walk for 30 minutes. If you are still hungry after the 30 minutes you can eat something knowing you have at least worked off 100 calories of whatever you do end up eating.

how many calories are you eating? Also, make your diary public so we can evulate your foods and provide feedback.

I'm fine eating small meals for breakfast and lunch and feeling "sort of' hungry most the day, but as soon as I eat dinner all I want to do is eat the rest of the night until I go to bed.

I've just altered the way I eat to accommodate that. I eat a small breakfast and small lunch and then a normal dinner. I'll usually have anywhere between 400-500 calories that I can eat after dinner. I tried to change and eat differently, but then I was just binging after dinner and going over calories, so now I make sure I have some extra calories after dinner.

I have the same problem.... that's actually how I gained this weight in the first place. I was always very thin as a teen and in my early 20s, one of those scrawny stick figure girls that thought "I can eat anything and it doesn't effect me." Well, after a few years of trying to satisfy my appetite, which had always been a problem... one I had mostly ignored, but was trying not to ignore because I figured if I attended to my appetite I wouldn't have so many blood sugar related mood swings? Well that didn't really work and I put on a spare 30-40 lbs. I can eat a gigantic, hearty meal that would satisfy anyone else and feel hungry again half an hour later. I don't really understand it. Eating more smaller meals does help sometimes, but more often it feels like my body only recognizes smaller meals as appetizers!

I do suspect it has something to do with the length of time I let pass between meals in the afternoon. It's so easy to put off lunch until it's too near dinnertime and just snack to tide me over in the meantime. When dinner rolls around it's starvation mode! I find it really difficult to break this habit though. Lunch is the bane of my existence.

You could be deficient in a certain mineral or vitamin and your body is trying to tell you by using hunger signals. I would pay attention to what you're craving when you're in these strange hunger situations; salty, sweet etc. and do a google search to find out what your body is missing based on that. I saw this on Dr Oz people, so you know it's legit.

You could also get blood work done to check things out. Could be slightly more helpful than a google search..

i tend to not exercise much if at all in the summer, i can't stand being hot, and i can't get cool in my house.

I only have one day that I feel like this. Rest days. Exercise actually helps with hunger. When I work out I don't get the starving feeling unless I have not had enough water.

I bet your lacking some kind of vitamin or mineral, pay attention to anything your craving, if so. But I would get checked by a dr. to be on the safe side, do some blood tests. Best of luck!
