Why you're so hungry all the time

Posted: 13 May 2015 03:23 AM PDT

It's one thing to notice an uptick in appetite if you've been training hard at the gym, or if you're pregnant or PMS-ing.

Figuring out why you can't stop shoveling it down is important, because excess hunger can tip you off to a physical or mental health issue—and giving in to that need to feed can send your BMI into dangerously unhealthy territory. These 11 things will help explain why your belly's been growling.
