Massive hunger on 7.5mg

Hi all,
Everything's been going great on MJ and I had success right from 2.5
Now I'm on 7.5 and I'm getting massive hunger every day. I'm possibly eating too few calories (1400 daily) but not disastrously so.
Anyone else experienced this? I'm still losing as being very disciplined but the rumbling hunger is less than ideal...

My reply seem to have disappeared.. I'll try again..

I'm kinda the same, I've done 15 shots of 7.5 and some weeks/days I feel hungry and reaching for snacks I wouldn't normally have and I think its time to move up.. then it kicks back in and the following week I get big suppression again..
I say be strong for now and it will kick back in again.
I'm sticking with 7.5 and start my 4th pen next week.

Thanks for your reply!
Can I ask why you stayed with the 7.5? I've been moving up after four weeks on each dose so far.

I'm on15 mg and it still happens to me. I think it's maybe hormonal

I did 5 weeks of the 2.5 then went up to 5mg as thought that's what we had to do.. but then when I realised we could stay on a strength I stayed on 5 for 2 pens but towards the end the suppression was gone and I was feeling the effects getting less and less so went up to 7.5.
I struggled a bit to start with as found 1st few days after my dose really hard to eat and wasn't getting enough calories but carried on anyway and as the weeks went by I found it perfect, only get a bit hungry at meal times and feel full after a "normal" sized meal. I say normal as my meals before probably would of been enough for 2 people (why I was overweight) .

I stayed at 7.5 as the effects are still good, still working, no side effects now, never felt sick on this, if I'm not careful I can feel the possibility of constipation but I have more fibre and water and fine.. and I feel as long as it works no point going up as more money and possibly side effects, I will go to 10 if 7.5 stops helping me..

I think you are probably ready for the next dose up! Hang in there for 10mg...

(I consume a lot less calories than you. You r not eating too few. You just need a stronger dose of mj probably)

If you're hungry why not introduce a protein snack?

I wouldn't go up a dose if you're losing.

How much are you losing and how far do you have to go?

Id look at what you're eating and respond to hunger personally. Long term you want to be able to eat when hungry and stop when full and MJ should help with this.
Lots of overriding hunger will just make. You want food more surely?
