I know this question doesn't belong here but I couldn't find where to post it.

For the past week I've eaten about twice as much as I would normally eat and I'm never full. It's like the food is "disappearing". I havent been full for the past week no matter how much I eat. What things could be going on with me? I think it may be something serious but im not sure.

First, are you generally healthy overall? (average BMI)

Then, what are the foods that you normally eat, that you are now eating 2x of? Do they include a lot of starches (rice/bread/pasta) and sugar?

CNN did a report a year or so ago about a 'button' in our brain...mostly about
menopausal women...it is turned off...so they feel these bottomless pits of
hunger...the Satiation Button...doesn't work.

Something, somewhere is off balance.
Because I am not an AMA fan...Me? I would first go to
a good Acupuncturist to get balanced.
And, see.
Serious? Not necessarily at all...and if worried, well,
that just makes harmful chemicals to be in your system.

Are you on any new medications or have you changed the dose of any medications that you are on?
Are you eating a lot of simple carbs as in white flour breads, cakes and cookies?
Are you eating enough good fats? How is your protein intake?

You may want to make an appointment with your doctor. You may have a thyroid issue or something else that is making you so hungry.

you mean 6 foot 3 right?

Is there a history of diabetes in your family? Maybe you should have your blood sugar tested.

Even though you don't seem to be overweight, you might need to eat some more nutritious foods in your diet. When I think of Mexican food outside of Mexico, I think of lots of starch and sugar. please correct me if i'm wrong.

If you're prone to diabetes,regardless of your weight, you'll be extremely sensitive to any amount of starch or sugar that normal people don't have issue with.
