A member asked:

Why am i always hungry? i eat a lot of food and get hungry 2 inutes later?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Is : Is it possible that you have increased your physical activity lately? If so then you are likely requiring more calories. On the other hand being hungry all the time (polyphagia) can be a sign of diabetes. I suggest you see your doctor for a complete evaluation/work up. All the best.
