so when i started this diet plan i have not really been hungry to the point where my stomach growls. this past few days i have been so hungry. i'm wondering if it means my metabolism doesn't like that i am not eating very much or what?

    When this happens drink a huge glass of water! Your body might need water. People get hunger and thirsty mixed up sometimes. Try it and see if that works. :)

    Cannot see your diary...but if you are hungry you are probably not eatting enough and working out. Since I cannot see anything cannot really say much more....

    I started to get really hungry all the time and it was because I was netting 600-700 calories a day....You need to be netting your full amount of goal. So that mean you might need to eat more of your exercise calories!

    Look for high protein foods- help fill you up!!!!!

    If you want to open your diary it might be easier to get a response!!!!

    As we are all different...For me when I really started working out and hitting it hard I was hungry all the time!!! Body needs fuel!

    Try that and also, if you are truly hungry, don't starve yourself. Just choose a healthy snack and have plenty of water with it...that will at least prevent you from gorging on something that will be more detrimental to your long term goals.

    do people get more hungry if they only eat carbs? because I am really high on carbs but also high on protein.
