Are you eating low carb and higher fat?

Since low carbing I very rarely feel hungry... and on the flip side, I very very rarely feel full after eating.
I now eat to enjoy the food I am eating, as I know I need to eat something.
How's it going with you?

I thought it was the Metformin that had reduced my appetite but it might be cutting the carbs, i love my food but since going on meds i have to force myself to eat in the evening just so i can take my meds.

Maybe more goulash (sorry, flippant!).

In my experience, hunger (if you want it!) can be stimulated by exercising just before mealtimes. A brisk one-hour walk should help.

When I started on the low-carb diet (which, initially, was also portion-restricted) I was hungry all the time. Now, one year later, hunger comes and goes and is less intense.

Carbs make you hungry, so eating low carb with sufficient fats will stop the hunger. Metformin is an appetite suppressant, so that may also be playing a part.

You seem to be treating this as a problem.

If you need to lose weight and you aren't feeling hungry most of the time then isn't this a bonus?

If you are getting most of your energy from body fat then you won't really need to eat much and you should, I suppose, concentrate on vitamins and minerals either by supplements or eating mainly leafy vegetables. A small amount of protein is needed but not much. Carbohydrates are not needed. Just aim for small tasty meals with lots of nutrients and lots of flavour.
