AIBU to feel constantly hungry on a low-carb diet?

I can't do it. I'm constantly hungry.

My brother does it and he thinks it's brilliant

He actually lost quite a bit of weight doing it

I have to eat carbs, but I work out a lot so I'm okay

i'm just saying this to warn you, it doesn't work for everyone

Have you tried just having a little bit? So like a tablespoon of grains with your meal. That's where I ended up. Some things are okay like steak and salad is fine, but that's probably because there's enough fat in the steak. Lean chicken or fish salad is not fine. And then I end up padding out the same dressing with fat and I just thought this is ridiculous.

I spoke to one trainer who said to me that she has been looking over her client food logs and she has found that it's calories that really make a difference

I think she was quite disappointed because she's a great believer in the high protein thing

Have you tried the ‘Filling Meals’ cookbook? Available from Amazon. We use it all the time. All the meals in there are about 500 calories per portion and lovely and filling. The meals are high in protein and fibre which is one of the keys to satiety.

We eat from the book most days, I’m mid fifties and have lost weight recently but am not hungry ever really.

The other tip I have is to have a good breakfast (lots in the book) which means you start the day not feeling hungry. Some of the breakfast recipes in the book are so filling I can’t finish them!
