Why am I ALWAYS hungry?

Question:

I am ALWAYS hungry. My body burns through food and calories way to fast. I petite lady 5'2, 110 lbs, and I am always eating, always hungry. For example, for dinner, it took one taco,one burrito, a quesadilla and a half a tuna sandwitch to make me full. If I don't, I get irritable and lightheaded very quickly. This seems to get worse as I get older, I am 25 now, when I was a teen, it was not so much of a problem, but now it seems like I need to eat every five minutes. I am very healthy, just went into for my checkup, had my thyroid checked, also got checked for diabetes.I do come from a family of thin, small people. Nothing is wrong with me. WHY am I ALWAYS hungry? How do I slow down my metabolism?

Answers:
Decreasing your metabolism means you are "turning down" your body's internal furnaces, which lowers your calorie requirements. It's something you might want to do if you are lost in the wild or starving.
Heat loss is a major energy drain, so dress warmly to slow down your metabolism.
Huddle with other people if you have company. Move to the warmest area you can find.
Lie still. Moving around speeds up your metabolism. If possible, sleep.
Don't drink cold water or eat snow or ice. Your body will have to go to extra effort to stay warm.
You also don't want to overheat your body because you could dehydrate yourself and there will be more trouble down the road.

You may always be hungry because you eat too quickly. Next time you have a meal take your time and drink plenty of water.

ok its basically impossible to slow down your metabolism so idk wat to tell you just eat lots of protein like steak and beans etc.

HORAYYY!! WELCOME TO THE CLUB!

eat a TON! gain an OUNCE!

your probably ectomorphic.. just a fancy word for HIGH metabolism..

you obviously have a lot.. Cause Im 6'5" and weigh 165 lbs.. I eat alot throuhgout the day, but i hardly gain any weight or love handles..

anyway... Your body is burning the food you ate wayy too fast..
I woudl go to your doctor and explain this problem, mainly the irritability part and see if oyu can get on a supplement..

Or try those body builder milkshakes.. I remember drinking those for football just for extra calories and protien.. It was one glass ( a good size glass) and I swear I had trouble finishing it when it got down to the last 1/4 of the cup.. Afterwards I got that i ate so much ill explode feeling..

I didnt gain any weight or anything, but i was full..

those are some suggestions... buti would talk to your doctor before trying any "home remedies."
