Is it normal to be *mad* hungry after you get sick?

I've been sick for over a month...right now, I'm getting over it and for some reason, I just can't stop eating.

It's cool because my appetite was all but gone when I was sick...I'm just wondering if it's normal and if so, why does it happen?

Sure. It's possible that your body, after using up so much energy trying to fight the sickness, makes you hungry to eat more and replenish your body's energy?

Yeah, makes sense...I got pretty skinny during this sickness...hope the new appetite doesn't get me fat

Why not you eat a good balanced diet? Maybe that's why you were sick in the first place.
