Hi all,
Glad to have found this community. I have lost 130 lbs since January 2018, been maintaining for about 1.5 years. I did get 25 back but lost it again. I'm good at calorie tracking and I am super mindful of portions.
My latest problem and the one I am really having trouble overcoming, is that I can eat an entire full big meal and still be hungry an hour later - it's like my body doesn't even realize it just ate a pound of food. Some days, I will feel full about an hour after I eat, but some days it can take up to 4 hours for my body to register that I'm not hungry. Some days i just don't feel satiated at all and I'm hungry no matter what.
I try to eat a high amount of protein and I try to eat a normal amount of fiber. I've talked to my doctor about this and a nutritionist, they both recommended more fiber but that doesn't seem to be doing it for me over the last month that I've been trying it.
For my dinner tonight, I had about 6 oz of chicken breast, 6 oz of broccoli and a small portion of high fiber pasta mac and cheese. It came out to about 16 oz of food and I was hungry an hour later, and it's now 3 hours later and I'm still feeling like I didn't eat anything at all. Earlier in the day I did eat a sandwich and a protein shake, and an egg and some sausage, so I have been eating regularly but I'm still experiencing this issue.
I'm open to any advice anyone has as to how to curb my appetite or get my body to feel full after I consume a regular size meal. Sometimes I eat a big meal and I'm full for like seven or eight hours but that's unfortunately far less often the case than I would like. Thanks for reading.
