Atkins and Low Carb Weight Loss
Starving all of a sudden????
OK I am starving....and I don't know why? So far today I have had sunflower seeds and cheese stick for breakfast, hot wings for lunch and dinner of baked chicken. But I have grazed all day. Mostly on sunflower seeds and an atkins bar but still I feel like I could eat everything ( I haven't) but I feel like I'm gonna mess up at any time, I thought the longer you did this diet the less hungry you got ( or so I heard) well today is not one of those days. And I was feeling so proud of myself for being less hungry the last few days. UUUGGGHHH!!!! On a side note I have lost about 3 lbs woohoo but if I can't curb these cravings that won't be for long...sigh maybe tomorrow will be better. Just had to get that off my chest!!!
ARG, my computer just ate my long reply so I'll keep it brief.
Add more dense protein. Check the carbs on the wings and figure out how many carbs in the seeds that you're eating. Maybe you're not getting enough nutrition. a string cheese keeps me full for 10 minutes, then i want more food. Add an egg to it for breakfast. Add a 4th meal of another piece of baked chicken. Keep yourself filled on dense protein and you won't go astray.
We're here for you. You won't blow it!! I get really hungry too and when i do, I eat more protein.

Hiya Jen --
How many grams of protein, and carbs - and how many calories overall -- are you getting in a day? It may actually be that you SHOULD be eating more. You probably do not want to throw your metabalism into slooooooooowwwwww motion by eating too LITTLE. Let us know what the intake stats are, if you keep track, and I'll be there are others here who can help you!

Interested in low-carb nutrition? Thinking of trying Atkins? Want to try high-fat and/or high-protein eating? Whether or not you have had (or are thinking about) WLS http://www.obesityhelp.com/group/atkins/
Nuts and seeds don't keep you full very long. Eat more dense protein, preferably cooked without added carbs. Many factory processed raw meats (like Smithyfield) have added carbs as do cooked frozen wings, fajita strips, etc.
The extra carbs from nuts and processed meats could increase your apetite. Some people find that artificial sweeteners do this as well.
