Getting hungry ridiculously easy...

Gooooooooooooooooooooooooood morning or evening or day or night or afternoon ladies and gentlemen and hello. My name is Hamed Khatiz and I am a sixteen year old with many occupations from Sydney. I have been training, as in, doing weights, cardio 5-6 days a week with a Personal Trainer named Brad for about 3 weeks. Because I have never done any training before, Brad says, only worry about the basics. I shuold not so much be worried about nutrition or recovery just yet, but yeah.

Lately, thought I have noticed something I can't help but notice. After a meal, I get hungry really easy. Literally 10 minutes after, I am having that hungry feeling in my stomach. I do not do abdominal weights, it is all limbs, so why is my stomach so hungry? I was going to ask Brad earlier but he wasn't here, so I might as well ask you guys anyway. Thanks.

You are burning your fat reserves, so your body thinks it needs to tell you.  If you want to burn fat, then you don't have to concern yourself.  But you can add more fiber to your diet and make sure you get lean meat and vegetables to fuel your body.  Some fat is fine as long as it's healthy.  Eggs can be a healthy part of a diet.

Yep - pretty much!  Our bodies still expect us to expend lots and lots of energy to obtain food, the way our ancestors did.  Being able to buy high-fat food instead of expend thousands of calories to obtain some sort of grazing animal for food, or to gather plants to prepare, is really messing with our fat reserves.  We have to try to balance it out artificially now with careful choices and lots of exercise for the sake of exercise.

So, essentially, being hungry means it's working? Hahaha. Cool, thanks...
