Hunger sensation even after eating?

I hear you 100% coke zero must do something extreme to my blood sugar because it makes me ravenously hungry within 45 minutes of drinking it, I have given it up as a result.

Coke Zero is sweetened with aspartame, they test this towards the end of the video and it has no impact on blood sugar

I have to agree with @zeejane4 and @apullum. The more carb I eat the hungrier I seem to be. I can't go too high in fat because I have no gall bladder but I try to keep my carbs a bit lower than MFP seems to recommend. Every time I find that I'm struggling I can almost always track it back to a higher carb intake. I know not everyone is the same but that's my experience.

Same, I still have my gallbladder but carbs-especially the starchy ones-make me want to keep eating.

Me too and whenever I make the big mistake of saying that in order to support my regime I am trying not to eat bread, potatoes, rice and pasta (and things made of those things) as well as refined sugars, you always get someone saying 'oh you shouldnt cut all that out, they are fine in moderation'

Well there is no moderation for me with those things because they make me crave foods, so although I dont call myself a low carber ( I am sitting here eating quinoa and vegetables for instance) I know that starches and sugars set me off just wanting to eat,,, anything.

Hunger or appetite?

Hunger is a physiological need for food - any food - and is satiated with the presence of anything in your stomach.

Appetite is a response largely based upon behavior - your desire for food and this is towards a specific taste - sweet, salty, sour, etc.

Eat slowly, hydrate, and be mindful of the behaviors you establish around your meals.

Along with calorie counting be mindful of what foods satiate you and what foods stimulate appetite. For me my satiating foods are oatmeal, chicken, rich in fat foods, but everyone is different when it comes to taste and appetite. On the other hand the foods I need exercise caution around are pasta & chips.

I will say I have the same problem right now.. better with some weight gain. I know mine is TRUE hunger vs appetite because a bag of raw broccoli looks just as good as... let's say....icecream. I don't know how much weight you lost, dietary style... ect. I have come to the IDEA, with some research and working with a professional, that my leptin is just shot. I have the IDEA that we have a BF settling range. Not to confused with BF set point. BF set point theory says that our BF % cant change. I have the idea settling range can. Various aspects of lifestyle, genetics, past dietary history, ect all come together to set a place where your body likes to sit. There are some human studies and rodent studies that point in that direction. I get the feeling that I will be called out for sources. If needed I will. Your leptin might be low. Could be many things. Best of luck.

Look, we're fishing in the dark here. So every advice is as good as the next. Another idea:

could it be that you actually need some fast absorbing carbs? Do you wait too long with eating? Maybe you're just about on the threshold of getting hungry. Eating something that is slow to digest would mean you get hungry while you've just eaten.

I would disagree that SOME fast acting carbs are not satiating. There have been studies that show that a plain white boiled potato is more satisfying ,even eaten by itself, than many foods. I mean the study was SUBJECTIVE, but lenda some ideas that might help.

I think we're saying the same. I know that I crash very hard when I don't get some simple carbs at the right moment. I could have just eaten a small salami and crash half an hour later as that wasn't what I needed. My easily accessible energy stores are just not very big, and I've never managed to get fat adapted despite trying to do so via endurance training for a very long time.

I put little stock in the theory of being "fat adapted". I would love some studies that could point me in the direction of learning some things about it. Thanks!

As everyone else said, I echo speaking to your doctor.

One thing hasn't come up that much but also take a look at what you're planning on eating. Is it actually enough? I got into a habit of eating what I thought was enough then I realised I was way too low on calories before dinner time, which for me set me up for ravenous evening hunger. I'd plan for a small, healthy dinner that still left me in too much of a deficit. Cue ravenous hunger and eating handfuls of dry cereal like a madwoman at midnight. As soon as I started eating more in the day and planning a slightly more substantial dinner, it stopped, for the most part. I can even have cereal in the house again!

Try eating snacks that are higher in fat, like a small amount of nuts. It was eye opening for me how much fuller I would be for longer after eating something high fat than something with the same number of calories but high in carbs.
