[QUOTE="Kristin251, post: 1488882, member: 240838"] I was always starving until I discovered avocado. As soon as I ate anything it seemed to turn on the hungry switch. Now I have half an avocado and celery bf and split the other half with lunch and dinner. The fat and fiber and low carb is my perfect fuel The reason I keep my protein moderate, and I used to eat loads more but realized I don't need to and it too would make me hungry, is because it requires insulin. I have to take insulin for half my protein. If I eat more than three ounces at a time I have to take more insulin about an hour later to cover it. So if I eat 3oz ( 21g) I have to take insulin as if it were 10 carbs. I am extremely carb sensative but I'm also very insulin sensative AS LONG AS I EAT THE RIGHT DIET. My body and brain thrive on ketones for energy. As soon as I add carbs in I'm on a downward slide. The brain uses ketones too The body will also go to carbs first and then to fat. So if you eat too many carbs you won't be burning fat. Hence when people want to gain weight, they eat carbs! There are other foods that stall loss for many such as grains, starch, all forms of dairy and too many nuts. Some do very well with them in their diet. I don't with the exception of a few nuts but I don't want to lose weight. [/QUOTE]
