Unintentional Weight Loss
Sometimes people remain hungry and look forward to eating while still losing weight. Maintaining a good appetite while unintentionally losing weight suggests a different set of possibilities.
A person who has become physically much more active can burn more calories than they take in. This is usually pretty obvious and it takes a lot of exercise to get there. Other causes of losing weight while maintaining a good appetite include an overactive thyroid, diabetes and eating disorders such as bulimia.
With an overactive thyroid, your metabolism increases and you burn more calories.
Do you have some of the following symptoms:
hand tremor
feeling hot and sweaty
a swelling in the front of your neck
feeling jittery and anxious
palpitations?
