what does feeling hungry actually mean? are you hungry because you're in the process of losing weight or is it just that your stomach feels empty? i've been STARVING all morning and haven't gotten a chance to weigh myself so i'm not sure if the number will be lower or not.

Its a signal that your body needs food. You'll begin to feel irritable and angry or hangry. Your body makes this feeling to get food to convert it into energy, growth, repair and nutrients into your body.

When you don't eat for a long period of time, your body will begin to burn fat and then eventually muscle...that includes your heart.


This is only a simple description but you should research hunger :)
