ImFakingHotPink answered Friday November 24 2006, 7:11 pm: One thing could be simple- you have an emotional bond with food. When your hungy you eat, nervous you eat, bored you eat, happy you eat, ect. If you have had an extremely fast metabolism your entire life then it's not a health issue; when your body burns off food really fast it needs to have more. if you eat foods with lots of perservatives in them they are not as filling and you tend to crave them more and eat more of them.
(if this is not the issue maybe seeing a doctor could help. it can be a worm, parasite, or diseas which is not very likley. some people are just lucky and don't gain weight.)
eating smaller meals [not snacks] throughout the day (5 times) will help you be satisfied, not full. see when you get too full you just shit most of it out or you sit down until the feeling surpass' and then you get hunrgy again. teaching your body to feel satisfied really helps curb the hunger crave.

Raeden answered Friday November 24 2006, 6:04 pm: Hey, if you feel hungry, and you don't gain weight, you probably need all that food. Either that or you have a parasite like a cestode. If you eat raw meat or come into contact with animals you could easily have one of those. I'd advice you to see your docter to find out if that's the case.
Also, try to balance what you eat. Eat veggies and fruits. Also, drinking water can supress your hunger feeling, so if you think you're eating too much, have a big glass of water. [ Raeden's advice column | Ask Raeden A Question ]
