Feel hungry shortly after eating - need some advice - Diet & Nutrition Message Board

Hello everyone.

For several months I have been experiencing an extremely irritating sensation after eating. I can eat a reasonably large meal and yet within 60-90 minutes I can feel hungry again. It doesn't happen every time, but probably 1 in every 3 meals at least.

In september last year I started a diet and by december I had lost 18 lbs. I then had a cycling accident and my diet went out of the window and I went back to my typical dietary habits. The feeling of hunger started around february and has continued ever since.

I've spoken to my GP who has no real advice for me. I'd be interested in any thoughts/advice, privately if preferred. I'm happy to go into greater detail about my usual dietary habits if that would help.

It is really starting to bother me now, and this is the first time I've ever posted on this sort of forum. Thanks for reading.

ps I'm male and 37 years old.

What kind of meals you eat?

I have a reasonably mixed diet. I eat meat and fish but not that much of either. I try to watch the amount of fat I eat so no frying, and very little cheese. I also eat quite a lot of pasta, vegetables, bread, salad and a fair amount of fruit. I also like spicy food a lot.

My main weakness is chocolate which I could eat in large quantities if I was given half a chance! But I try not to.

I hope this has given you a better idea of my diet.

You are having carb withdrawals caused by high insulin spikes. Read up on how carbs effect your metabolism in Biochemistry 101.. Adding good fats to you diet is not only essential but also leaves you with a satiated feeling.

Rachel and Richard Heller's Carbohydrate Addicts Lifespan Plan might offer some insight.
