What Causes Increased Appetite?

Hello, im am a 14 year old girl. For the last 4 days my appitite has increased alot. I am worried because i am over weight and before these last 4 days i have made sure i am only consuming 1,200 calories a day. And before anytime i over ate i felt very sick even if i only ate a little bit more than i usually do. Do u know why my appitite increased for no reason?

Hello
Thank for choosing HCM
It may not be increased appetite but it could be really hunger attack, due to fear of increasing weight you must not be eating properly (starvation) and now it would be time for meal, you are just 14 no need to restrict the diet on your own, if it is the obesity issue then better to see the dietitian for better advise, otherwise you would face the irregular patron of hunger, I would suggest to see the dietitian till then have a regular diet without fear, in this age group body needs full fledge diet, hope this information may helps you take care.
