Good Luck putting on weight, I find sustagen(nutritional powder form) works to put on weight.How do I know ,I just do ok lol :)

Because youre a lucky SOB. I look at some devil dogs and I gain 4 lbs. lmao.

It definitely could mean you are hyperthyroid. Go to your Dr. and have blood work done. It could become serious

Are you anorexic or bulemic?

for one thing how long has it been going on? keep an eye on it, if it has been going on for awhile i would go see a dr because their could be an underlying problem that should be delt with, such as a problem with your thyroid and such. there are also medications that make it really hard for people to gain weight. so it might be time to adjust meds if you are on any, talk to your dr first though. depression can also lead to people feeling hungry all the time.

that is strange.. i did that alittle while ago and assumed my metabolism had just cranked up a notch.it was only a short period of time.but i didn't eat alot the day before so.

I would say that your body has a higher metabolism, and good for you! But if its a rapid weight loss, you should seek professional help from your medical doc!

There are more than one possiblities. One is you have a tapeworm in your stomach. (from eating not fully cooked meat) I would check in with a doctor. It could be/get serious.

It could be your metabolism, prescription medications you may be taking, or it could be what you're eating. If you keep losing weight, see you primary care physician, you could have an overactive thyroid. Or a tapeworm. People do still get those.

That doesn't necessarily mean that you are healthy. Just one lucky gal. Exercise and a nutritional diet should be the game plan on everyones mind. Your body will thank you for it later

Obviously you're different from many people. The thing that's critical for you is to eat healthy things like a maniac, not artery clogging fried food, or sugar and trans fat riddled foods. Go to town on a load of carrots and be sure to have reasonably healthy snack foods around it that's when you're eating loads.

And heck yeah, get on a treadmill, not because you'll get skinnier, but because you'll be healthier. As for not getting any, be sure that you're body is meeting it's other physical needs for nourishment, sleep, and excercise and that will help if you have 'cravings'.

If you keep eating yet feel like you're starving, it could be a tape worm. Otherwise, you probly just have a high metabolic rate.

Strange indeed..but u shud b happy 'bout that.

You may have a malabsorption syndrome such as Celiac Disease (gluten sensitive enteropathy). This disease is often 'silent', but it damages the lining of the small intestine and leads to malabsorption of nutrients. You may want to discuss this with a doctor or clinical nutritionist that has experience diagnosing and treating malabsorption syndromes.

Best wishes and good luck.

That may seem strange but I have the same thing. I am constantly eating and still gain no weight. the Dr.s told me I had a high metabolism and it would slow down someday. I would gain the weight later in life. Well I'm 39 and still am small (5'11" and weigh about 160 lbs.). You might consider seeing a Dr. I read in one of the other answers someone suggested an illness. That person might be right. I can only tell you from my experiences.

I'm just like you. Isn't it great. you get to eat whenever and whatever without worring of your weight gain or figure damaged. Maintain is better than restraint

fast metabolism.

It could be a surge in your metabolic rate but I wouldn't take any chances. There could be a thyroid issue or even diabetes. Consult with a doctor ASAP. You're better off safe than sorry. A couple of other symptoms could be severe thirst and, because of the need to satisfy your thirst, frequent urination. Try webmd.com

any history of diabetes or hypoglycemia in your family.check it out

How is this a mental health question??

Tapeworm maybe but talk to your doctor howboutit.

hyperthyroid, tapeworm (eaten any food from taco stands lately)
or metabolism
