Does your mental state change when you don't eat enough?

**F4iGuy** · 03-05-2009, 10:47 PM

If I go too long between meals I get extremely irritable. Its strange, it happens about 10-15 minutes after I get a hunger pain. It's not that I'm getting pissed about the hunger pain, or the fact that its been to long since I last ate. I swear my mood shifts, drastically. My thoughts completely change? I'm sure its related to a drop in blood sugar but I know people who eat twice a day and they're fine. I have a phobia of not eating due to it lol.

those people have eaten that way for a while and their body is used to it, ours isn't, our body wants constant nutrition and what the body whats, it gets, period

**F4iGuy** · 03-05-2009, 11:02 PM

I cannot imagine what life must be like for the pro's. It probably feels awesome being that huge and getting paid to do what you love. But they probably never stop thinking about food? I'm not complaining but I've never really considered it until looking more closely at my diet.

Your body adapts, weather real or imaginary i need food every 2 - 2.5 hours exp during sleep but even then i need a good meal before retiring and when i wake up i need to get up and eat something...

**FallenWyvern** · 03-05-2009, 11:51 PM

I get manic if I miss a meal.

***El Diablo*** · 03-05-2009, 11:53 PM

people stay out of my way when im hungry

**IronReload04** · 03-06-2009, 12:37 AM

I couldnt tell ya.....I CANT function right if I dont get my food

**J-Dogg** · 03-06-2009, 12:42 AM

I think I just had food rage.

My girl was over and sleeping next to me, kept getting warm.

I got up, ate a peanut butter sandwitch to fight off the EQ hunger pains.

Got back in bed and could not sleep. Had to get up and eating a bag of beef jerky now.

I get worn down, leads to getting crabby if I don't eat.

Today I did not eat much cause started ECA. ECA coming down plus an empty belly = one crabby dude on test.

**Narkissos** · 03-06-2009, 06:25 AM

When I don't eat, I'm a mean sumnabitch.

lol.

My clients know what to expect if in a middle of a work-out i say "hm... i'm getting hungry".

I swear, they start to go pale.

One suggested yesterday that I bring food with me to munch on while training 'em lol.

I mean, I don't get irritable per se... but i push 'em somewhat unmercifully when my BG starts to drop.

"Oh Gawd Nark, it burns"

"Shut up and squat."

I swear i get the exact same feelings as you..
I thought i was the only one, i have had many
fights with my GF when this happens and she
always said "you act like a total jackass wehn your hungry"
I wonder why this happens?

**F4iGuy** · 03-06-2009, 07:04 AM

Good to know I'm not the only one who gets 'food rage' lol. We should create a new term 'food rage disorder'. Resulting from above average levels of muscle mass. Symptoms tend to occur around friends or family who consume less than 3000 calories per day. Use extreme caution when approaching. Treatment: food. prescribed every 2-2.5 hours. Consume 1-1.5 gallons of water per day. WARNING: If you notice symptoms of food rage administer calories IMMEDIATELY!

I could have avoided so many arguments

if my girl told me that. I never stopped to consider it but now I know and knowing is half the battle! lol I'm seriously going to start eating something in the middle of all arguments from now on.

**Reed** · 03-06-2009, 07:35 AM

yes my definitely does

violent mood swings

***D7M*** · 03-06-2009, 07:49 AM

yep, I'm a complete dik when I'm hungry.

My girl just says to me "I'm leaving you alone till you eat again"

**jnewton86** · 03-06-2009, 08:06 AM

definitely! every 2 hours for sure, sometime a bit sooner or later, but when the time comes, all that matters is eating. once i start to feel the hunger pain, i'll get extremely irritable.

**thegodfather** · 03-06-2009, 09:22 AM

anyone who knows me...girlfriend...even members of her family...etc, etc...will go out of their way to make sure I eat if we have to drive together to family gatherings...Like someone said above, I need food just to even function. I feel sick, irritable, and ready to eat small children if I dont get my food...

**Gears** · 03-06-2009, 03:08 PM

It's pretty easy for me to flip out at dumb things when I'm hungry, I don't even have to be on cycle. I just turn into a crab-@ss.

**MMArmour** · 03-06-2009, 03:15 PM

Me too. If im hungry you had better just **** off till I eat. Period. Very irritable on an empty stomach

**Brown Ninja** · 03-06-2009, 03:22 PM

head aches and really bad mood swings

It's hunger PANGS not hunger pains. Jesus christ get it right you hungry motherfackers!

Yeah, I get the same way when I don't eat.

If I am tired I get mean and if I am hungry I get meaner. If I am tired and hungry watch out !

**Schmidty** · 03-14-2009, 07:51 AM

i eat and a hr n a half later is when the ticking of the food rage time bomb begins. 2hrs im a cranky mean person and 3hrs im ready to explode w uncontrollable anger. imo no such thing as roid rage but food rage has proly destroyed many lives lol. idk if its my bg dropping because iv got muscle that metabolises it or if i just cant help but think of how im shrinking. In fvck dont even get me started about how much my eq is maken it or my insulin is maken it for fvcking real

**Chode Logan** · 03-14-2009, 01:14 PM

I turn into a cranky bitch if I don't eat for 4 hours or so.

**higherdesire** · 03-14-2009, 02:02 PM

My man-gina cramps when I don't eat on time as well. It is not pretty. I don't care who I am around, it is uncontrallable, I get very irritable and short with anyone.

**paulzane** · 03-15-2009, 06:11 AM

I didn't think that I was that cranky but my boss really knows when I need to eat. He says that he can see how I change as I become hungry and he now plans jobs around my eating habits .....lol
