I have been eating more. it seems like i'm hungry every 4-6 hours and this just started. what could cause this?

Hunger: Usually this is just a transient phenomena without a good explanation - more mental / situational than physical. Occasionally it is due to an underlying illness such as diabetes, but there are usually other signs and symptoms as well.
