What's going on? I just can't stop eating today?!


Question: What's going on!? I just can't stop eating today!?
So far today (it's 12!.22 PM) I've had a bowl of cereal which had two weet bix, half a cup of amaranth grain and half a cup of blueberries in it with rice milk; a litre of juice (home made carrot, beetroot, celery, orange), 2 apples, 20 passion fruit, 2 home made blueberry waffles (I'm vegan, thus the home made) and just now I had a multigrain wrap with tofutti not cream cheese, romaine lettuce, raw broccoli and alfalfa sprouts on there!.
I feel full (kinda!?!?!?) but I can't stop eating!!
What's going on!?!
(I'm vegan as well and this isn't normal, I eat more then this in a day normally but not this quickly)!!Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
There are many possible causes for excessive hunger!. These include:

# increased exercise, which can increase the body's food requirements

# growth spurt!. Just before or during a period of rapid growth, a person's appetite increases to ensure that the body has enough food to support this growth!. This is common in infants and adolescents!.

# hormone imbalances!. A high level of thyroid hormone, called hyperthyroidism or a high level of adrenal hormones, called hyperadrenalism, can cause excess hunger!. Some women may have this condition due to hormone changes that occur during pregnancy or at certain times during the menstrual cycle!.

# uncontrolled diabetes!. This is a condition that causes increased blood sugar levels which trigger increased appetite!.

# depression!. This condition often causes a decrease in appetite!. However, it can cause excessive hunger in some cases!.

# bulimia nervosa, an eating disorder that most commonly affects young women!. This disorder causes short, intense periods of hunger that usually result in eating binges!.

# certain drugs or medications!. The use of antihistamines, steroids, marijuana, or large amounts of alcohol can cause excess hunger!. Withdrawal from cocaine or amphetamine can also cause this condition!.

# damage to an area of the brain called the hypothalamus!. This is a rare conditionWww@FoodAQ@Com

Offhand, I would say you smoked pot and are having the munchies or you are pregnant!. But you don't come off as a pot head and I believe you are a not woman!.

Seriously, I would not worry about it (yet) if it just happened today!. Maybe you did not eat enough yesterday or maybe indulged in more strenuous activities!. But if it continues better get yourself checked!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Have you thought about you having a eating disorder!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
