    I am quite familiar with the frantic, panicky hunger urges . . . you will be happy to know they subside. Most days, hunger just feels different . . . I feel empty, not frantic hunger pangs. Now and then hunger gets worse than that, but it's not that often. Like @Mom2annie has called it, "head hunger".

    A big part of it (for me) seems to be to decide to 'chill out' and calm myself down before it's my eating period.

    Time of OMAD: 6:15pm
    OMAD start date: March 6th, 2017

    Hi Everyone! I started doing the Ketogenic diet about 2 months, however, I started to gain weight. I have a background as a Personal Trainer and love all things health and fitness. I have a lot of food sensitivities and therefore I can't eat things like bread, pasta, sugar, etc. I spent years constantly being hungry eating 6 small meals. I was never satisfied. At 35 years old I was tired of doing the same thing without any results. I was eager to find a way to balance my hormones, control my hunger and not overstress my body with crazy workouts. I didn't want to stop doing Keto since the high fat has helped with my mood but I desperately wanted to see some results. I'm on my 4th day of OMAD and I love it so far! I always feared being hungry and it caused lots of anxiety and binge eating. So far I feel lighter in my clothes and surprisingly I know longer fear hunger. I like looking forward to my Keto dinner every night. I know there has been some research stating that Intermittent Fasting isn't good for women. I hope I am one of the lucky ones and have great success on this eating style. I wish everyone great success!!
