“It’s fun to listen to people say, “I was really hungry.”
Must be nice to be so morally superior! Hint: If someone is losing weight by losing as much or more muscle as fat, then their bodies probably ARE telling them they are starving - because our bodies don’t like it when we lose muscle and bone!
There are also cravings. Cravings are NOT hunger, but they are very real. And they are also associated with carbohydrates. If your body is hormonally balanced to run on glucose and NOT ketones, then initially running out of glucose means your body will crave carbs to make glucose.
That is particularly true when you are listening to the US government and most doctors who tell you to live on a high carb diet. But once you get your body used to getting energy from ketones, you can cut carbs drastically and not get cravings.
Many people who haven’t been very obese never face those issues. Many, many more don’t know WHY they have cravings. Fat people who CHOOSE to continue to eat to stay fat are on their own, but a great many people refuse to change their diet because the government and many doctors tell them, “Low fat is good. Fat is evil. Eat high carbs and just cut portions.”
Then blame the fat people when their advice fails - as it does 99% of the time.
There is an answer. I’ve never been obese but I’ve fought that battle for so many decades that I don’t laugh at others’ misery!
BTW, my son needs to lose weight. The VA dietician keeps telling him to cut out all the fat and continue to eat his high carb diet - only less so. And when I tell him otherwise, he replies, “These are dieticians and doctors. They are experts.” But I’ve LOST THE WEIGHT...and yet he believes his overweight, government-hired dietician! Because SHE’s an expert!
Why you gotta be a jerk? My guess is very, very few of the people on this forum have gone long without eating. Have you?
I didn’t call you names, or base any assumptions on your morality.
It’s a new year. You don’t have to type the first tripe that comes into your mind.
Be better.
