[QUOTE="AloeSvea, post: 895037, member: 150927"] I hear you Truffle! :). My chocolate cravings and eating didn't end then either. And I haven't got to the store yet that sells stevia sweetened chocolate. (Today! yay!) I wish I was like you, and the folk who didn't suffer during a VLCD, like I did. And my skinny partner skips meals all the time with no suffering whatsoever. But I have all always been hunger-sensitive, so it must be something to do with hormones and leptin levels and so on and so forth. (And my siblings and I are infamous for having hearty appetites and eating people out of house and home if given the chance to.) I guess I am saying it must be a key difference for people - how they experience hunger, and their appetites. I quite commonly say to my skinny partner that I wish I had his body on my head, or I was him, so I could go hungry and not suffer, but then I wouldn't be a diabetic and...and then it ends up being like trying to work out The Terminator timeline ;) :). (And I can't do that even when I have normalised blood glucose!) But I am forcing myself to not eat again in the morning, and am thinking through a plan where I change the meals I skip to fit in with social functions, so I can eat with family and friends and still 15/9. (ie skip dinner on the days when a shared breakfast is scheduled - that kind of thing.) (I love breakfast too much to cook it for others and not want to eat it myself, especially if it's a paleo/LCHF breakfast.) I hope I can stop my rise upwards in the HBA1c chart/liver and pancreas dysfunctioning too, with this IF. Who wants to go hungry and suffer for no health reward? Gee, not me, that's for sure. (Beginning to get veeeeerrrryyy woozzzzy, because I ate some vege crisps at 10.30 last night, so now I have to wait another two hours for brunch :(.) (Reminding myself about how much I like having my feet, and being able to see, not getting a stroke/parkinsons/alzheimers, see grandchildren one day....:).) (And if it doesn't work... learning to live happily without feet.... etc.) (But it ain't over till it's over...ok, I'll stop now.) [/QUOTE]
