Hello,

Increased appetitie is called polyphagia.Causes include increased exercise and physical activity,growth spurt,hormone imbalances( hyperthyroidism or hyperadrenalism), pregnancy or at certain times during the menstrual cycle,uncontrolled diabetes,depression,bulimia nervosa( an eating disorder that usually result in eating binges),certain drugs or medications(like  antihistamines, steroids, marijuana, or large amounts of alcohol)  and damage to an area of the brain called the hypothalamus(This is a rare condition).

Pls get your blood sugar evaluated and other causes checked by a physician.

Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing.
