[QUOTE="zicksi101, post: 1129468, member: 97084"] If you are only a week in... don't be too quick to judge. The thing that makes me hungry is a high insulin level. When I initially tried a LCHF diet I found it took 2 weeks to get my insulin levels low enough. At that point it was as if my body adapted and I no longer felt hungry. If there's one thing I have learned though, it's that everyone is different, and crikey I am most definitely different as it appears I am someone who can actually manage to overdose on fat lol, but all I'm saying is give it a proper chance. All I suggest is having a blood glucose meter as an objective measure so you can see how you react to food (or lack of it) over time. The problem with some of these articles online is that the research may be fuelled by the food industry which is only concerned with making money. I found this to be especially true with the Runners World article on "how to fuel for a long run" for type 1 diabetics... advocating that we consume lots of carbs without any suggestion to reduce insulin. Why would they suggest that we reduce insulin? There is no money to be made. [/QUOTE]
