    Sometimes apples make you hungry because of the carbs. Good luck!

    Eating food, carb or otherwise, doesn't increase appetite.

    Can't you just let yourself be hungry for an hour? I can go a couple of hours being hungry. I get hungry around 4 pm at work, get off at 6:30. I can ride it out until I get home and can make something to eat. Otherwise, eat more protein, and try not eating breakfast. I drink coffee that keeps me satiated until late afternoon. I end up doing IF.

    There is something about apples though. Many people find they just make them hungrier, i have no idea why.

    OK, this made me laugh, but also made me ponder. You're right, we are always so used to being comfortable in life and rarely allow ourselves to even feel hunger. "Food" for thought!

    So true. I don't think many of us here can identify with what it truly feels like to be actually starving. Peckish and a little hungry, yes.

    Add protein and fat to your breakfast. A warm/hot cup of team might also help.
