The reason I’m doing lower carb now is because of the hunger, as you all know. Wild coyote suggested high protein and I brushed it off initially, but decided to try it because nothing else was working. And I feel so much better because of it. Whether it helps me lose weight or not remains to be seen but I feel better physically and that’s all I wanted.
Good luck to everyone! We all have a lot to think about!

I am very happy for you!
I recall feeling much like you were feeling when having unstable blood glucose. It was a horrible feeling 24/7.
I try to be careful when I suggest a trial of a higher protein diet. I am not sure what a high protein diet means to anyone and I am a bit concerned about any stress on the kidneys if someone starts with too much protein.
It seems safer for everyone to suggest a "higher protein" diet or even lifestyle.
I cannot suggest a specific number of protein grams per day, as I am not a trained medical/nutritional/dietician specialist.
Again, I am very concerned about the safety of everyone. If anyone knows s/he has kidney issues, please do not increase your protein intake without the proper review by your physician. None of us need any adverse event in trying to become more healthy!
I must say it is best for everyone to talk to their doctor about any protein intake guidelines. Other aspects of any diet/lifestyle are best discussed with your doctor, including diets with higher fat intakes, etc.
Wild, feeling better allows us to do so much more, including being more Present for oursleves and our family, etc. Happy for you!
