    If you are hungry eat. Going over one day one mess your diet up. I did it once i ate over 3500 calories on day. Then the next day i weighted myself i lost weight. You are hungry because your body needs food.

    Why are we so afraid of listening to what our bodies are telling us?

    1200-1300 and about 8 bottles of water a day
    Is that net??
    No, her net is 500-600.

    On a daily basis??? If that's true no wonder she's starving. And it's counterproductive. But her diary isn't open. How do you know this?

    Because this was mentioned earlier:
    Yesterday you posted:
    my goal is 1,400 for the day i eat 1,200 and burn 700 and do NOT eat back the calories I burn

    Perhaps you wouldn't be as hungry if you ate more.

    Simple math. That's all.

    I get that....thanks! But without her diary being opened we don't know for sure. Assuming she logs everything everyday.

    without actually seeing your food diary i really could not say why you are starving. the nutritionist saw told me to eat more protien and less carbs because carbs make you hungy and protien will make you fuller longer. some people on the board suggested protien shakes made from whey protien powder. they actually have chocolate flavored ones. also eat a series of small meals through out the day instead of 3 big meals. drink a l glass of water before you go for food. it will help you to feel full and it will help to give you energy and clean your body of toxins. keep some almonds around for a pick me up. a small pick me up. 14 have about 145 calories and 6 grams of protien. if you are only limiting yourself to 1200 calories and are exercising 700 calories away then you really do need to eat more. good sources of protien are eggs, meat, poultry, fish (salmon, tuna, octopus and gooeyduck have the most), cheese and nuts. if you like cereal special k protien plus is pretty filling. 3/3 of a cup has 10 grams of protien and 100 calories. if you used light soy milk 1/2 cup is 35 calories and 3 grams of protien.

    sometimes our bodies confuse thirst and hunger. Are you drinking enough water?

    You are starving because your body is trying to tell it needs more healthy calories. When you deprive yourself of food you will end up with vitamin and mineral deficits. As a woman you need to make sure you are getting enough Iron,Calcium, Magnesium, Zinc.

    Filling foods include those with fiber and protein. Potatoes, sweet potatoes, milk (even skim), yogurt, (smoothies are great low cal filling snacks), unbuttered popcorn, apples, bananas are good choices. So is lean meats and fish.

    By eating too few calories and becoming starving you are also more likely to binge. My sister was over weight as a teenager and lost a lot of weight on her own. When she hit a plateau she starved herself. When her body would shake she would binge. Then her stomach would hurt and she would use laxatives or throw up. She is now 51 and no amount of therapy has been able to break her bulimia/anorexia cycle. She cannot eat a normal meal. She never meant for this to happen. And all of this started because of a number on a scale.

    Please keep this in mind and good luck, sweetie!

    Just because you havnt felt hungry doing this in the past doesnt mean that cant change. If you are building muscle or switching workouts or doing lots of things during the day that makes you hungry. it could also be hormonal.

    I agree with Tzippy--could be hormonal. Could be a change in what you eat. I had a day a while back where no matter what I did, I was hungry. ALL DAY LONG. Protein, fiber, fat, didn't matter, still hungry. I ate well over 3000 calories that day. Feed yourself when you are genuinely hungry and you'll get through this. It's annoying I know!
