I am playing DDR but I am never hungry?

When I play DDR I am not hungry but when I do eat something I just don't want it as much as before. Any other DDR players with this strange problem? is this healthy?

As I lost weight from playing, I noticed my apetite shrink as well. I can hardly eat half the amount of food that I used to, which is a good thing I suppose, much healthier in the longrun.

the same thing happens to me when I do a lot of hiking. Your body breaks down fat for energy, so it doesn't need outside sources as much. After a while, you just start to use what you put into your system more efficiently. It's a good thing as long as you aren't completely losing your appetite.

I can play DDR for hours on end without getting hungry, but as soon as I get home and relaz, my body stops burning inside energy and i'm suddenly starving

Yeah, I get that too. I often skip meals when playing DDR. If I eat anyway, I start feeling sick.

I think it's great. Means I don't have to worry about were I'm getting my next meal. Plus, eating less food is better for my budget.

Could probably play all day and not eat a single thing.

I never eat when I play DDR, I can't remember the last time I was hungry while playing. I can usually eat about a large pizza and a half, (I'm not fat, just a REALLY high metabolism, in fact I'm about 20 pounds underweight

) but I ordered a pizza once, went and played DDR while I was waiting (I hadn't eaten the previous meal, lunch) and when it got here I could only eat about 2 pieces...

well i hope you guys eat before you play ddr anyway. I remember trying to play ddr without having eating breakfast or lunch and I got a C on the first song and I failed the second song. Same thing happens everytime I go without eating. My body needs fuel to play.

If I don't eat before I play, I just get tired too quickly and I don't get the scores I'm aiming for. I always do fine when I grab a slice of pizza or something before going to the arcade. I still get hungry when I play, but it using takes many hours until I actually realize it

. I just have too much fun with DDR that I just don't think about food even when there's a hot dog cart right next door.

I play at Burnsville Mall as well!!! Woot DDR TEAM ASSEMBLE!!!! *blows trumpet-esque instrument* If u are ever there at the same time as me, then I will be the tallish underweight teenager with kinda curly hair down to my shouders... I usually wear my lucky M.A.S.H. shirt as well so look for it, it's dark green, and umm... geez I've given u about enough information that you could find my house and murder me in my sleep...

Generally, what I do is eat a cookie or leftovers from my lunch about 3 hours before I go to the arcade (i.e. eat at 3, go at 6). Generally, I don't eat or even get hungry for the rest of the night. All told, I only really eat one meal a day, plus a very small breakfast (not enough for a meal) and a snack or snack sized portion around 3 p.m.

Gotta love small food bills...!

I try not to eat anything before I play. Because every time I do, I get a stomach ache and a side pain. I sometimes eat after I play though, but nothing heavy. I usually eat immense amounts of food at meal times (except breakfast, which I hardly ever eat because I wake up so late). But if I know that I'll be playing DDR, I try not to eat a lot. After I'm done playing the thing I need most of time is something to drink...and lots of it...and maybe a towel.

ironically the exact same thing's been happening to me. my parents say its a good thing, and it makes sense...haven't lost any weight yet but the lesser appetite helps.

Yup, same thing here, I have less appetite when I play DDR (or do any kind of physical exercise actually)
