am i starving even though i eat when hungry!
I eat 800-1000 calories a day but burn around 1,000-1700 calories a day. I eat when I am hungry and stop when full. I have ibs so have to eat healthy. Can't do processed stuff and I crave healthy foods. Feel free to look at my diary. Feel good but can't get below 220 but no ibs problems in 6 months.
