    What have you eaten today? You need to make sure you're balancing your carbs, fats and proteins. Right now carbs are going to give you energy, and fats and proteins will help you feel full and sated. Also begin incorporating more fiber into your diet, but slowly so that you don't get upset tummy.

    I felt the same way when I started a month and a half ago and I learned if I ate 5 smaller meals closer together I wouldnt be hungry all the time.

    Also you need to distinguish if you are "hungry" or just bored. If you are truly hungry your body is telling you that you arent getting enough nutrients. Remember its not about quantity but quality of food you need to be eating.

    I'm all confused, I am getting hunger pains and stomach grumbling so I am assuming I am hungry. xx
