I did weigh 140lbs. and now i weigh 135.5lbs, n i have been working out a little bit but i am always starving n am always eating. n yet losing weight extremly fast. What are some causes that could be making me lose weight this fast.

You may not be eating enough if you're been working out. How much calories do you think you're eating in a day roughly? Or what did you eat for one day as an example?

Are you drinking enough fluids?

The best way to find out why you're losing so much weight, is to go see your doctor.

 

But it sounds like this is a one day event so it might just be water loss. Watch your weight for a couple more days and if you continue losing 5+ lbs per day, get yourself to your doctor, ASAP.

Diabetes causes rapid weight loss I've heard. Seriously if it continues see a doctor.

if your always hungry than your not eating enough. Eat more. If you want to gain weight be always full.

I eat alot a day, and right after i eat i am still hungery. I have lost more weight. and when i lose weight then i seem to get major headachs. At first i was thinking it was a caffine headach, i do get them when i have gone a day with out a pop. My family were starting to think i was diabetic, but i never was tested to know for sure. Does anybody know what are some for sure signs of diabetes??

I think it's best that you go to your doctor to confirm whether or not you are diabetic, rather than finding out signs.

 

It could be something entirely different, and you won't know for sure until you confirm it.

The sure way is to see a Dr. Radical weight loss when eating adequately can be an indicator of many serious illnesses.
