Secret, will eating up to 100 gr. of carb also result in the lack of hunger that so many experience on this type of diet?

This is one of the benefits, for me and many others: most of these diets have an initial induction phase, where carbs are restricted much more than that. And many notice that after a couple of days, there is no hunger. In the initial weight-loss stages, I’ve always kept the carbs to 50 or below, and believed that this restriction is what ‘killed’ hunger. (I’ve generally done the South Beach or Atkins.)

Thecool thing about high protein/fat diets is that they are more satisfying and longer lasting than high carb diets. You reallygotta see the Fat Head doc b/c not only does thisguy explain it but doctors do too. You will also feel better and have more energy. Low protein and low fat diets drive people into literal moods of depression. One doc even admitted this happened to him personally.

The proteins and fats satiate the huger. They stick around longer so the fullness sticks around longer too.

The hunger is temporary.

It is caused by the fact that the body does not just glide into ketosis. It takes a bit of shock, and that is why the carbs have to be completely cut to zero for the beginning phase.
