Not as hungry?

When did you start?

Sometimes people do find a drop in appetite when they first start restricting...just be conscious that your hunger might come back with a vengeance at any point.

I found that when I started losing weight, I was forced to eat more well-rounded meals, meaning that I had to eat more protein, fiber and I started taking a multivitamin so that I wasn't starving all the time.

I've found that I'm not as ravenously hungry as I was when I weighed more, and I think it's because my body is getting all the nutrients it was craving. Before I would eat not very nutrient, high-fat and high carb foods, and would be hungry all the time. Now, even though I eat less often and in smaller portions, my body is getting everything it needs, so the hunger is less extreme.

So yeah, I understand. That said though, there are still many nights where I just wanted to eat an entire jar of peanut butter and all the pizza and cheesecake... I survive though. Haha.

I noticed this too for me! About two weeks in I was getting full, faster. To were now (day 25) I get really full with my portions at dinner time that are measured according to servings.

I've been at this about a month and a week, and I feel you. I'm struggling to make my calories right now. I figure my stomach has shrunk from not stuffing myself all the time. I was definitely more hungry during week 1 of "dieting"
