Why am I still hungry?!

If I dont get my fill of vegetables and water I'm hungry

When I'm on my game with eating mostly fruits and veggies, yes I am hungry within an or two after every meal. My suggestion is instead of having 3 meals a day have 5 with small snacks. I used to never eat breakfast then when I started to eat breakfast I felt hungry all the time. I think this is because it wakes up my metabolism to eat breakfast in the morning.

i think i have a fast metabolism, as i get hungry every two hours without fail. and painfully hungry, almost throwing an adult tantrum hungry. haha
i have snacks, piece of fruit and nutty muesli bar (i know not healthy - but good for energy kick i find) for morning tea, 1 meat + salad sandwich for lunch, almonds or rice wafers+peanut butter, and another piece of fruit for afternoon tea.

you need more protein. take a can of tuna or small amount of chicken etc, keeps you full for longer. should be eating protein at ever meal, even brekky.

I eat my bigger meal at lunch time most days, I find that works better for me than a small lunch and large dinner.

Sounds like you're a carb lover like me. Fruit and a brownie at the same meal and the wheat in a bagel thin along with a high glycemic banana at breakfast would only make me a slave to cravings all day long. Even though conventional wisdom may suggest that eating our carbs early in the day is better so that we have time to metabolize the calories, I have found this to be counter productive. Refined carbs like wheat and flour products DO NOT give me energy either! They make me tired and sluggish.

On the contrary, if I eat only protein and fruit for my meals and snacks up to and including dinner, I do not have any cravings or "hunger" for sweets, starches, or any type of junk food, fast food, or processed foods, and I am able to keep the weight loss moving. For my evening snack, I will sometimes treat myself to 200 calories of whatever I want---cookies, dark chocolate, ice cream, etc. If I don't need that extra snack, I will just skip it, or I will have a healthier snack like a Pure Protein Bar or another piece of fresh fruit with some plain Greek non-fat yogurt. That way, I have something to look forward to every night which keeps me on track and free from feelings of "deprivation". At that end of my day I am so tired that I don't have to worry about cravings or hunger anymore-I'll be going to bed soon enough.

You should consume more protein in your diet and maybe increase your fiber intake as well. Also, you shouldn't deprive yourself of certain foods you enjoy. That could set you up for heartache! Try oatmeal in the mornings along with fruit and maybe some egg whites instead of the bagel thin. Make sure you are drinking plenty of water and that it is indeed hunger that you are experiencing, not thirst.

Also, I hate to say it, but when adjusting to a new lifestyle and eating habit, you are going to be hungry sometimes and it is something you will have to just deal with.

If you crave something, it usually means there is something lacking in your diet, but since your food diary is not public there is no way of knowing

I have been at this for a while and still have this problem.

First, snacking on high protein and high fiber snacks works for me. It takes longer to break down in your body and that is what makes you feel fuller longer. I eat a lot of veggies with light homemade dip or jerky for snacks. Also, yogurt, nuts, reduced fat cheese sticks or high fiber cereal seem to work for me.

Second, eat more often. I tend to have some sort of small snack every 2 or 3 hours. It means I eat a lot but I rarely get that starving feeling anymore. And when I miss my snack I can tell because by hour 3 to 4 I start feeling like I could eat a whole buffet alone.

Third, coffee or tea work really well for satisfying my cravings. If I really want something a bit sweet I'll make hot tea with sweet & low or I'll make a coffee and add some sugar free syrups to them (like Torani or Da Vinci syrups).

Bumping.
