I suspect you have an ulcer.\n\nGo see a doctor.\n\nif not, then you are a gluton.

Someone with a small stomach may notice more easily when it starts to get empty. I prefer to eat a small amount throughout the day & to avoid discomfort. I don't like nor am really able to "pig out" & eat anymore than is comfortable.  The more I eat out of what is normal for me, the more I am likely to experience pain when the stomach starts to feel empty. I am naturally thin, as is my family. Don't know if there is any significance to size or if a large persom may experience the same. I too am somewhat lactose intolerant & have been tested for numerous ailments to no avail.

There are some great books on cleansing your body with juice actually, go onto google or www.bn.com and search for "Juice cleansing"  It helps to purge your body of toxins, which can create the feeling of being full all the time and also being listless.  Otherwise, I'd recommend trying a new approach with your diet, and eating foods that are lighter, like chicken, pasta, lots of veggies and fruits.  Steak is wonderful, but it can lead you to feeling full for up to 8 hours, and that isn't a good feeling.  Good luck!

Try drinking a bottle of water and waiting about 15 mins.  Lots of times our bodies are actually only thirsty, but trick us into thinking we are hungry, especially when craving sweets.

Sounds like a blood sugar problem. Eating starchy foods on an empty stomach does it to me too. I am hypoglycemic. Have your doctor test your blood and your thyroid levels. Take care.

Diet pills are not the answer.  Typically they have caffeine, in one form of its metabolites or another, to make you feel full.  While you make think this is a miracle, it deprives your body of water, thus making it retain water, and because most people mistake thirst for hunger, they end up eating more.  The other person who answered this question mentioned slim-fast shakes for breakfast and lunch and a small dinner with no snacks.  I agree that meal replacement shakes are excellent, your body needs more than that to keep itself running properly.  So my recommendations follow.\n\n1.  10lbs is 4wks is the absolute maximum you should consider losing over such a short period of time.  If you lose more weight, you are probably 'crashing' your system (i.e. you are not getting nearly enough calories and are losing weight because your body is eating itself).\n\n2.  I agree with the meal replacement shakes, but you need to eat more than 3 meals per day if you are looking to lose weight, but keep a firm, tone look when you are done.  You should eat every three hours that you are awake.  The reason for this is if you eat only 3 meals/day, you are putting your body through mini-starvation periods (ex. noon-6:30pm).  This makes your body store fat more readily, to prepare for the next starvation.  By eating every three hours you typically a)eat less, and b)safely lose weight.  So long as you don't make every time you eat a meal, you'll do fine.\n\n3.  Exercise.  This is crucial.  To lose weight, you ought to do intense interval training.  Longer aerobic workouts burn calories, but only for the time you are exercising.  Interval workouts burn calories even after you are finished, but I won't lie, they are difficult.  I recommend a combination of springs/jumps/lunges/pushups/situps.  Do one of those for 20-30s, then jog for 90s and repeat.  Do four sets of four different exercises I've listed above, do them 3 days a week.  If you combine them with some basic weight training, you will see results in 4wks.\n\n4.  Read.  Read.  Read.  Get your hands on some literature that will advise you on the healthiest foods to eat (I am a devout follower of The Abs Diet).  Also read anything written by Alwyn Cosgrove and Mark Versteegen, these two guys know how to make people look better.\n\n5.  My list of sources has some great tricks and tips to getting and staying fit.  The gist of the abs diet can be obtained from men's health.\n\nFinally, good luck in your weight-loss pursuits!\n\nP.S.  Letting a friend know of your goal will really keep you motivated to hitting that goal, so get the word out!

You are eating due to "nervous energy" or you are an emotional eater.  It is not an eating disorder and is very common.  Most women will eat (hungry or not) if they are mad, depressed, sad, hurt, on there period etc etc\nIt is perfectly normal and you are lucky you are not gaining weight!

See your doctor. Honestly. If you're noticing a compulsion to eat that's different than you normally feel, there could be an underlying cause for it. And hey, I'd feel better if you ask your doctor than some of the putzes that post answers here. :)

I doubt it, but there is cause for me to be concerned.  Something is making you less hungry, and it could likely be depression.  I would go see your doctor just to be on the safe side.  Also he can rule out any other medical issues that might be causing this.

Hello, you are most probably overloading yourself during your meal. you should eat slowly; it takes approximately 10 minutes for your brain to register the amount of food that you have eaten and feel satiety; this feeling of heaviness that you are describing is called heartburn and it's because your stomach is full very quickly and there is not much time for it to ''stretch'' enough and start the digestion process. the other thing that i am thinking is that you probably do not eat at regular times and you eat once a day while the rest of the day you don't eat anything. if you do that, it's very bad for your digestive system and you need to have snacks in between meals. it's not because of the carbs though. (you said it already for yourself...'a lot of pasta'...it's not the type, it's the quantity).Best of luck.

You're probably not getting enough of what your body needs to feel fuller!!! Like more fiber, and vegetables, and lean meat for protein!!!  And eating 6 smaller meals a day with a fruit like (apple) in between these meals really helps curb hunger and in a healthy way!!!

What you need to do is portion out your food throughout the day. You should eat a lot of little, healthy meals. This will help you feel full and stay full, plus if you eat the correct items, you won't feel the need to binge afterwards. :)

yes i think you are overweight. im sorry for being upright. but, you can start by eating daily salads everyday and lots of fruit. most people actually feel hungry because they are thristy. thrist turns into hunger. also cut down on carbs, and meat. stay on a low fat diet and drink lots of water! good luck. :)

your body is busy fighting and is rejecting things that weaken it so you are not in a hungry mood. It will accept nourishment and you need to force some things to keep strong.\n\nGood luck and God Bless!!

First of all - out of sight, out of mind.\n\nMake sure that you have plenty of low-calorie snacks available.\nGet hooked on fruit!  My favorites are apples and strawberries!\nDrink some coffee - Black or with splenda.  It's hot so it makes you feel full.\n\nLet yourself have some fries and cookies every once in a while.  If you are too strict then you will end up pigging out.

Read my article on calorie consumption and how you can lessen the amount of calories you eat here http://www.healthandstrength.net/qofweek.htm\nI lost 54 lbs, you can see my before and after picture here: http://www.healthandstrength.net\nAnd perhaps the foods you eat are not giving you enough vitamins, and your body wants more....try taking a multi or eating more foods with lots of nutrients like vegetables.  Processed foods have nothing and alot of people feel hungry right away.  Try also drinking more water and eating more fiber.  Those are two ways to feel fuller as well\nGood luck!
