Constantly hungry!

I am not type 1 so can’t speak to that part, but I know for me I would need more fat to keep from being hungry.
Some butter on your omelette or cheese and nuts instead of and apple.

 

I agree with Hotpepper, the way to succeed with low carb is to forget everything we've been told in the past about fat.
Fat plus carbs, especially sugar is a bad combination but fat got the bad reputation instead of sugar.

Don't forget full fat milk and cream - my morning coffee used to be all skimmed milk, now I have a mix of cream and water plus half the cow's I used before, but full fat.
Eating cheese, more eggs, butter, cream and greek yogurt alongside hardly any exercise yet I lost 5.5 st in a year.

 

When you feel hungry, do you check your bs to make sure the hungry feeling is not hypo symptom? I personally cannot tell the difference between when I’m really hungry or low sugar is making me feel hungry.

It will be difficult to follow a low carb diet if you are afraid of fat and also trying to follow a low fat diet.

 

I don't particularly low carb but think I've been hungry for 30 odd years as far as it goes.

 

Good fats! Nuts, seeds, legumes - incredibly filling. I don't eat dairy because it doesn't agree with my body and I found that replacing those kinds of fats for less processed ones really helped me with my snacking.

I agree though if you're hungry you need to listen to your body.

 

Appetite is always King. If you are hungry then there is a reason. Setting aside the glucose-insulin rollercoaster that those eating a high-carb diet can experience, hunger on a low-carb diet will normally be driven by one or all of three things;

• Insufficient fat
• Insufficient protein
• Insufficient micronutrients (vitamins & minerals)

That is a sweeping generalisation and doesn't consider any hormonal imbalances but, broadly speaking, that's it in a nutshell. All only in my opinion, of course.

 

Try thinking of the "high" fat in low carb HIGH fat as simply being highER than in a high carb low fat diet to put things in perspective - it's actually normal fat rather than the reduced fat that for the last 50 years so people have been conned into believing is better for them! You're not actually required to fill your plate with fat, simply to eat enough to help prevent you from feeling constantly hungry.

 

Just have more steak...
