    I'm not trying to sound snarky when I say this but... I eat a lot of fruit, veggies and whole grains, rarely eat desserts or fried stuff and try to restrict my dairy to fat-free or low-fat and I'm STILL working hard to just keep my daily calorie intake under 1600. I am still getting hungry (like, "gut hungry") at times and I only skip meals if I ate a huge meal earlier or I'm not feeling well.

    I'm not trying to sound unsympathetic - I'm just puzzled. I can't imagine what it feels like to feel full on only 800 calories a day but I sure wish I could experience it once in awhile - weight loss would be a lot easier.

    Um... Did you LOOK at my diary? A lot of my carbs come from vegetables. I also eat oatmeal, whole wheat bread and brown rice. But I don't crave carbs. I eat a healthy amount and balance it with protein, mostly plant-based. (I'm a vegetarian) but also egg whites in the morning.

    "Gut hungry", for me, means my stomach is rumbling and I am feeling the physical symptoms of hunger rather than just craving food when I'm actually physically nourished.
