Thats the same thing a friend said...and it'd make sense with the fibre, wouldn't it?0 -

No, YOU tend to want to eat. Satiety is largely an individual factor, and is not consistent from person to person. Blanket statements/assumptions like this are rarely helpful to these sorts of discussions...5 -

But your opinion was a generalized statement about other people. Carbs make you want to eat. They don't necessarily make everyone else want to eat.
They make me feel full. Love me some starch, I do.6 -

Ok, then the rest of the sentence needs to be amended as well. No problem, FIFY.

In my opinion, carbs do not stay with me and leave me hungry sooner. So I tend to want to eat.
or
In my opinion, carbs do not stay with you and leave you hungry sooner. So you tend to want to eat.
See the difference?
You weren't talking about you. You made a statement about other people. This is why your opinion is being challenged by those other people you chose to speak for.7 -
Carbs totally make you fat which is why nobody ever recommends something like the Mediterranean diet or other substantially plant based diets...I'm pretty sure the Mediterranean diet and other substantially plant based diets are wholly responsible for the obesity epidemic.

Is this with all carbs? From veggies to starches? Because fat doesn't fill me up, but starches are my BFF.
If you want to get technical, fats convert to body fat the easiest, followed by carbs and protein. But it's all driven by energy balance.3 -

According to my therapist that's particularly the case with active people. He said my body is quickly running out of stores which is why I'd feel tired and shaky. I just can't wait for my body to normalise as weight lifting has become a struggle for me.0 -

Are you an endurance athlete or running low carb? Because if you aren't, it's highly unlikely that your glycogen stores are depleted, especially considering a body can store 400-500g of glycogen. If you are struggling with workouts, I would first look at calories, body fat% levels/weight, and then mineral deficiencies.3 -

I'm the opposite, carb heavy meals make me feel fuller longer.0 -

They don't if you don't exceed your calories, unless you do this:

The problem is running on a deficit for most of the past 3 years I think and running on pretty much low carb and low fat. My body fat was at 10%, I assume it's been adaptive thermogenesis.
I should also add - my issue was mostly identified as orthorexia and I've got hormone issues. I'm on Testosterone Replacement Therapy.0 -

Low body fat + low fat can lead to hormonal issues. Did you incorporate any refeeds or anything throughout the time2 -

You're right - which the doctor is unsure if it's what happened (I was on a high carb low fat diet).
The doctor also believes that it could be a chromosomal issue. I didn't have refeeds, but I ended up having binges which is when I sought out help.
My body just eventually stopped producing hormones - the endocrinologist believes it was over training and under eating. I at the time started the whole low carb (with moderate fat) and I think it's where it all started going wrong

Unfortunately, it seems you incorporated several extremes causing a lot of hormonal issues. Good luck on fixing it.1
