When I was doing chemo I welcomed the hunger specifically because it allayed any nausea I was getting. Honestly I think the other comment in this thread might be right about the dizziness because that has never nauseated me either. I personally would be inclined to think people are misinterpreting their low blood sugar, but we all have unique bodies that respond differently to their environments.
Might just be mechanical. Engaging in wide scale catabolism certainly isn’t gentle on the body. Your muscles physically ache from the action, after all.
Yeah, and it might be different from person to person.
I’ve most definitely been more than hungry enough (starving myself to the point of losing my sense of hunger for 2.5 years), and yet I cannot honestly say I’d ever been “nauseous” from it.
Dizzy, disoriented, yes. But nausea very very rarely happens to me, in extreme, prolonged, vehicle-related circumstances, or sickness for example.
I wonder if nausea is just a consequence of the dizziness, in people that do get nauseous from being dizzy, instead of a direct consequence of metabolism.
You will definitely feel something akin to nausea if you fully deplete your glycogen stores, which is a much more extreme short term shock to the gut (long distance runners know the feeling). Although if you consider nausea to only mean feeling like throwing up, maybe you wouldn’t even call it nausea if you don’t get that particular symptom.
Long distance runner here. Never felt nausea after a run. Intense hunger yes, feeling sick no. My ex used to feel sick if she was just late for a meal. I’d never encountered that in somebody before. I just assumed that she was wired up incorrectly like that thing where some people sneeze if they step into bright sunlight.
I looked it up a while back because it would happen to me often when I forgot to eat. It seems to be because your stomach produces acid and if there’s a buildup without anything to break down then it gets irritated.
If you have very routined eating habits you may produce extra stomach acid in anticipation of a meal.
Never had that happen.
Maybe you’ve never been hungry enough.
If I had to guess the evolutionary mechanism here would be to stop animals from eating too quickly after a period of starvation.

Yeah, sounds about right.
Yeah i get spells of dizzy weakness out of hunger but never nausea.
