Hungry all the time?

[Lizard099]

Hello All,

Hope everyone is well.

I seem to be hungry all the time lately. I have been on extended induction for a few weeks now. I seem to eat until satisfied, then an hour later (sometimes sooner) I am really hungry again. This has been happening for about a week now. I have been exercising, but nothing new, I've always exercised.

Has this happened to anyone else?

Yep, happens to me when my body is craving protein and fats...and a sign that I'm about to drop weight. But that's me and might be different for others. Sometimes it can be a sign of needing to go up the OWL rungs as well, just depending on what you want to do.

Re: Hungry all the time?

Thank you Apple. So is it okay to eat and then eat again? For example, for breakfast I had a burger, (left over from yesterday) and a hot dog, then I had another left over burger with another hotdog for lunch and some green beans. Then I had two eggs about an hour later , and now I'm still hungry and thinking of what I can get after work. It seems like a massive amount of food and calories.

It could very well be what Apple suggested. You may be about to drop some weight.

You may want to check the hotdogs for fillers that might be causing cravings. Just because something is low in carbs, doesn't mean they are healthy. If those dogs have corn syrup or such in them, they could be causing blood sugar reactions, which lead to feelings of hunger.

I have checked them for fillers. The only thing sketchy was soy protein. Other than that they are all beef hot-dogs. I have become really paranoid about labels. Thank you for your post.

Just write it off as a hungry day then and enjoy! That's the beauty of this WOE, we get to eat when we're hungry!

All beef hot dogs sound really good right now! LOL

Re: Hungry all the time?

Sorry about the second post, but why do we get hungrier when we are about to drop weight?


Thanks everyone!!

Hey, Lizard...

What other veggies are you eating besides green beens? You need to try and find veggies that are high in fiber. It will help keep you more full and also help keep things "moving along", if you know what I mean. At least half of your net carbs should come from veggies.

Hi there! You said you're on extended induction. It's weird cuz that is exactly when I felt the most hungry all the time too. After I moved on to OWL it was way less. I still have those days here and there but nothing compared to how it was. That was driving me crazy. Give it a shot!

Re: Hungry all the time?

Thanks everyone! I will think about moving up rungs. I usually have brocolli, calliflower, celery, eggplant, asparagus, cucumber and jicima. Those are my favorite veggies, and peppers of course. So far today just the green beans, I was in a rush this morning and forgot my peppers, oopps. Thank you everyone for your responses, this place is great!

Re: Hungry all the time?

I forgot to add, that in some cases that I've read in Dr. A's book and have done as well, is to eat smaller meals through out the day...spreading out the carbs is best, so eating the small meals like 6 times a day instead of the 3 may work out better for you if you consider staying on Extended Induction.
