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

Been doing low carb for a while now and seems to be the only way for me post middle age

But OMG I’m hungry all the time, like a wolf. I find myself snacking on peanut butter and cheese to keep me going.

Tonight I’ve eaten a whole tray of turkey meatballs, must be about 350g of meat, I’m still hungry.

Any tips?

Guys I’ve gone on weight watchers, I’ve joined with the app. I feel better eating more carbs, it’s nice to be able to eat bread etc again. It’s a very low fat diet, so that’s a big change.
