How do you feel when you're hungry

This may seem like a really weird question, but how do YOU feel when you're hungry.? I am asking because I'm not sure if this is the typical way to feel when one is hungry. Every single time i go a few hours without eating, my head starts to hurt, i get dizzy, nauseous, and i start to get hot. Within seconds of taking my first bite of food i feel great though! So, please if you are bored or just want to share your experience PLEASE post how your body feels and functions when you are hungry.

    I don't get that bad, but it sounds like you have a blood sugar problem like I do. A doctor should be able to sort you out really quick!

    I usually just get that empty stomach burning feeling, but if its really hot out, or Ive been working out & havent eaten Ill get light headed. Id talk to your doctor, like the above comment it could be blood sugar issues.

    I mostly just get uncomfortable feeling in my stomach, but may also get trouble focusing and feel lethargic, and of course think about food more

    I don't feel dizzy or tired, just feel weaker. Like if I lift something it'll be more difficult than if I had a fuller stomach. That and some stomach pains are all I ever feel.

    I think there are different types, sometimes my stomach makes a lot of noise but Im not really hungry. When I'm ravenous, I'm tired and get headaches. The trembling stuff only happened when I did not ate for like for 12 hrs straight, not a good idea...

    Try the apple test.If you feel like eating something, ask yourself if you'd like to have an apple.

    If an apple sounds really satisfying right now, then you're likely physically hungry.

    If it doesn't sound satisfying, then you're probably psychologically hungry.

    It doesn't have to be an apple, in fact if you happen to love apples, then think about another food that you feel indifferent about.

    When this happens, try drinking some water before you eat.

    Because sometimes, when you think you are hungry, your fluid level is actually low. I'm sorry if it doesn't help, it was just a suggestion for you to try. As for me, my stomach rumbles, and I eat. Lol pretty sure I'm normal?

    yeah, it sounds like a blood sugar thing. Me, I just get hunger pains and that's about it. No real changes in mood or strength.

  • My stomach starts to get these really sharp pains which really hurt. I'll also have a really really bottomless hole empty feeling.
