Getting REALLY tired of this...

What is your daily calorie goal? You really shouldn't feel hungry all the time. And if you're exercising you should be eating at least some of your exercise calories, so you should be getting plenty to eat. What is the reason you can't eat wheat, rice, potatoes, etc.?

Lots of water, lean protein...I feel hungry I grab a handful of Raw Almonds and a glass of water and the hunger goes away pretty quickly...Good luck

Can you eat beans, or dairy? Both are healthy and will help you feel full when you introduce them into your diet. Search South Beach Diet. There are a few forums dedicated to it online. There is a Phase 1, to get rid of cravings, a Phase 2, for ongoing weight loss, and Phase 3, for maintenance. It's a very healthy way of eating that was developed by a heart doctor to help his patients get healthy. It's based on eating low-glycemic, low fat and healthy foods.

I can't eat wheat, rice, potatoes, corn, oats!

Sweet potato is awesome!! Have you tried Spelt or any other grained bread?? You can eat a full range of vegetables and fruits and meats... What about Cous cous? Lentils? Beans? Have a look in the healthfood isle for things like: Puffed Millet, Puffed Kamut,

I'm just going to throw in my 2 cents. First off I agree that you need to make sure you are getting enough calories. Too few and your body will feel starved and hold on to everything. I do have days where I just feel hungry all day. Usually a nice glass of water and an apple take care of it but sometimes it doesn't. I had a day last week when I was just HUNGRY. I asked myself all the usual questions like was I just bored and wanting to eat, was I stressed and wanting to eat-that kind of thing. And the answer was just no. I was just hungry, I mean tummy growling and all! So I ate. I ate (mostly) good for me foods but I did have a candy bar. And I did go over my calories for the first time in a long time. But I was ok with it because I knew that my body was needing the extra food for whatever reason. You must listen to your body.

My second point is I don't know if you're following a specific diet plan but if you are maybe you should re-evaluate. Not every diet is right for every person and maybe you need to try something different especially if you are hungry all the time and have cut out whole food groups. I have a lot of weight to lose so maybe I'm not the greatest person to give advice but.....well....I've never let that stop me before!!:happy: I've learned that, for me, there is no "giving up" foods. If I try it then I just start craving that food and can't get it out of my head and drive myself crazy until I say screw it and eat it until I can't eat anymore! Not a pretty site. I have learned to not deny myself any food, including sweets. My thing is moderation. I told myself I can eat whatever I want as long as I'm not going crazy with it. I'll have one serving or sometimes just one or two bites is really all I want. This has kept me happy and kept me going because I have given up on many diets because I just can't resist whatever food it is that I'm not allowed to have. With having things in moderation I'm learning how to eat properly and its something I can do for the rest of my life not just until the I lose the weight.

Now you didn't say in your post if you can't have those foods because of the diet you're on or because of a medical condition. If it is medically necessary for you to cut these foods out (like an allergy or something) then of course you should follow your doctors advice. But if its the diet you're following please reconsider and maybe that will help you.

Sorry this turned out so long and I hope it was of some help.

My body can't handle them now that I cut out all gluten. I'm in severe pain and major bloating when eat them. I go back to my dr tomorrow & am going to ask if he can get me an appt with a dietian.

take it easy, make moderate changes you can stick with. don't rush it. i have found that the weight comes off when it wants to and if i push too hard i will just get frustrated and over indulge. also i agree with others there is no reason you should be hungry all the time. if you are hungry you should eat. lean proteins and lots of fruits and vegetables is typically the way to go. in my experience whole grain breads and pastas are ok in moderation but as a side to everything else (so if you can't eat them hopefully you can fill up on fruits, veggies, and protein).

also if you are recently changing from an unhealthy diet to a healthy diet you could eat a little extra while you adjust because it is a different feeling to get full on fruits and vegetables than it is hamburgers and pizza. i notice that after a few days i start feeling great and it gets a little easier.... good luck!!!

Oh honey I wish I had some ideas and good advice for you, but the truth is I really don't, and I'd be remiss if I were to try and give you some feedback on this. My best suggestion is to see a nutritionist, someone who specializes in this sort of thing and can give you proper advice. Please don't give up. Love Love Love
