My blood work didn’t show anything. I don’t know what to do. Nothing fills me up. Not protein, not carbs. And it’s not the type of hunger I had before. It’s a horrible empty feeling in my stomach. I have no choice but to get used to it because no amount of food seems to help.


I don’t even WANT to eat though. Usually when I’m this hungry I crave something but I’m just looking for anything to fill me up, not anything specific.


Well since I know now that carbs won’t fill me up, I’m back on low carb tomorrow. I boiled some eggs to eat for breakfast along with my protein shake. Not sure what I’ll do for lunch. I meant to get more protein bars today but I hate the grocery store on the weekend. Too many people and not enough registers. I’ll go tomorrow.


Gosh I hope I get used to this hunger. I can’t stand it.


It’s good that your blood work came back okay. But being left feeling starving is a horrible feeling.

Are you still trying to quit smoking along with changing eating habits ? If you are that could be the problem, 2 huge changes in your life might be too much at once. Pick one then move onto the other once the first has been working for a month or so.

Do you drink a full glass of water 20 mins before each meal ?

I absolutely understand feeling absolutely starved feeling it’s horrible

I hate that your going through this
