Is anyone else hungry ALL THE TIME in this weather?!

The general consensus seems to be that you lose your appetite in hot weather. I can’t stop eating! Maybe I’m eating too much salad, fruit and ice lollies and it’s not filling, but I’m sooo hungry!

I’ve lost my appetite today, I can’t be arsed making food. I had cereal for breakfast and lunch today.

IGotItInTheSales · 18/07/2022 15:18

You are thirsty not hungry!

Those good choices are watery

GiltEdges · 18/07/2022 15:19

The body can often confuse thirst signals for hunger, particularly in hotter weather. Are you sure you’re not dehydrated?

The heat makes me feel really sick so don’t tend to want much to eat.

LoobyDop · 18/07/2022 15:20

I’m normally hungry all the time, but marginally less so in this weather. I usually go to bed hungry, wake up hungry and spend most of the day looking forward to my next meal. And that’s not because I do silly diets or anything, I just really, really like food 😳

Celestial135 · 18/07/2022 15:20

I'm the opposite. I just about managed 1 slice of cheese on toast and a few spoonfuls of icecream. Supposed to be having steak for tea but I'm not feeling it

SlagathaChristie · 18/07/2022 15:21

I often get hungry in the heat, as does my mum. It's not even for foods full of liquid. I just wanted chocolate and eggs yesterday. Not together though.

pastapestoparmesan · 18/07/2022 15:22

I’m not at all dehydrated. Drinking gallons, and my wee is clear as anything.

No, the thought of eating is making me feel sick. Except maybe an ice cream. Dinner will be whatever doesn't require heating the kitchen up any more than the hellish temperature it already is. Probably more ice cream.

Jazzapples1 · 18/07/2022 15:26

I think the solution is to get hydrated!

DecimatedDreams · 18/07/2022 15:30

Me! Everyone else has lost their appetite and I'm absolutely ravenous. Am also drinking masses so not that.

UtterlyUnimaginativeUsername · 18/07/2022 15:32

I'm drinking buckets but I can't stop eating.

Enko · 18/07/2022 15:34

Also hungry all the time and I have covid so I feel meh and cant cope w much food but I am hungry :(

InDubiousBattle · 18/07/2022 15:37

Me too, although I'm generally a very hungry person! We're getting a takeaway later and I'm really looking forward to a massive curry.

Cantbeliveyoufakeit · 18/07/2022 15:37

Me but I've literally eaten nothing but salads for a week, my stomach isn't used to so little substance! I can't face hot food though so think I just need bigger salads Smile

SoMuchKombucha · 18/07/2022 15:46

I've been the same, OP, although I've been thinking maybe for me some of it's boredom, since I'm staying put indoors today (have some health reasons to avoid the heat) and don't seem to have a lot to do. Lots of ice lollies, fruit and crackers here. Definitely not dehydrated, either, as I've had constant water, coconut water, iced coffees, kombucha etc. Just feel like I want to keep eating non-stop today.

pastapestoparmesan · 18/07/2022 16:34

So glad it’s not just me. I think mine might be boredom related too.

VicSynix · 18/07/2022 17:13

Oh me too. Absolutely starving. Drinking LOADS of water so definitely not dehydrated. Think I might have a slice of toast before dinner. Very odd.

RainbowsMoonbeams · 18/07/2022 17:28

I have been very thirsty. Lots of ice lollies been consumed here!

chubbachub · 18/07/2022 17:29

Agree it's probably thirst.
Every time you feel hungry, try drinking a glass of water and wait 10-15 mins to see how you feel.

Ive totally lost my appetite and Im a fatty so thats saying something

Lottapianos · 18/07/2022 17:30

I'm eating loads too. Drinking plenty of water so not dehydrated. Just do what you can to get through the next couple of days. Moderation can return on Wednesday ☺️

ComDummings · 18/07/2022 17:32

Sometimes you can be drinking a lot but lose salts. So maybe your body is craving something salty to replenish the salts lost during the hot weather?

wildthingsinthenight · 18/07/2022 17:36

I crave salty foods constantly in this weather. I am dinking water with electrolytes but have a condition where it's really easy to become dangerously dehydrated

Mabelface · 18/07/2022 17:36

I'm starving and I normally don't eat loads. I've drunk loads today too so not dehydrated.

Krustykrabpizza · 18/07/2022 17:44

Very little effects my appetite, I wish it did!
