Hi, I wish I was more like you. Instead, I am ALWAYS hungry even after consuming a huge meal. I was diagnosed as pre-diabetic in June. Was told to limit carbs and eat only 2 fruits a day instead of a whole bunch that I used to love. So, no more beans, sweet potatoes, quinoa, gluten-free bread and pancakes, etc...Today I ate fried mushrooms, with red bell peppers, sauteed dandelion and spinach. With it was a tin of tuna, and avocado and low carb toast with seed butter, and a cup of green tea! I can still raid my fridge and cupboards because I am starving. I'm convinced T1 diabetes is causing this hunger like a tapeworm eating all the nutrients I am trying to feed my body. My mother is diabetic, endo called it LADA, so afraid this is me now, as I am not obese. How does everyone here stay satisfied with their meal, and not crave anything afterwards? I have no self-control, the stress is overwhelming. I guess stress causes one to eat. I need help or some drug to suppress my appetite.
If that is all you had today, I'm not surprised you are hungry. That is low in protein, low in healthy fats and low in quantity. Have you tried using an app such as carb manager to calculate the macronutrients (macros) you need then eating to meet those. That's what I did when I was first learning and found it very useful
Hi, thank you for your response. That was my first meal of the day. I limit carbs, but my veggie portions look huge on my plate, and that whole can of tuna can't be good to have in just one seating. I also had fatty seed butter on that low carb toast with a handful of pumpkin seeds too with a whole avocado, so shouldn't I be full? I tried having fat by adding coconut oil but still starving and wanting more than a tablespoon. I'm thinking this fat will just accumulate in my belly area, which I do have. Slim everywhere else, but all in the stomach area. I am doomed for diabetes hitting me eventually.
