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.

HI, I am sorry you've been having a challenging time.
I know that type of hunger and it do not like it! I do not know what causes this in every case of my own experiences, except some meds , eating too many carbs and not enough protein. You know the deal.
I see you had been eating enough protein and lower carbs and still having hunger issues. I am wondering if you have been including any healthy fats?
We need healthy fats and they can help to satiate appetites.
Many people exclude healthy fats when changing their lifestyle in hopes of losing weight.

I hope something here proves helpful!
Don't give up!
