[QUOTE="Finzi, post: 350586, member: 56231"] Andy I'm so glad you enjoyed your meal! I must admit it made me smile when you said you were eating cod and immediately stopped eating it :) You definitely don't need to be hungry. Since low carbing I am NEVER hungry. Seriously. That's because when we eat lots of carbs, our insulin levels shoot up in response, that makes your body store fat and it also makes you hungry. If you get the majority of your calories from protein and fat, that swinging up and down doesn't happen. You eat til you're full and you stay full til the next meal. Protein and fat do a much better job of filling you up than carbohydrate, whatever the dietitians propaganda might say. I'm much more overweight than you but have lost lots of weight already without ever feeling hungry. Yes,there are sacrifices, I wouldn't deny that, because there are lots of things I used to enjoy that I can't really have any more,although oddly it isn't the sweet stuff that I miss (eg chocolate, cakes,biscuits) even though I used to eat tons of those every day. If I could have one food wish,it's that I could eat risotto again!) Sounds like your emotions are a bit up and down at the moment, which is completely understandable. As things settle down, and hopefully your blood sugars stabilize, you will likely feel better and better. I feel a completely different person since changing my diet and lowering my blood sugar (for me,mine were around 11 before and now around 5-6, after less than four weeks). I have also lost over a stone and a half in the same period. Getting my Diabetes diagnosis in some ways was the best thing that could have happened to me (obviously I'd rather not have the condition,but since I have, knowing is way better, because instead of just feeling more and more fatigued and unwell and exhausted, I now feel really well).
