Giving up carbs should curb some of that hunger.Thank ya'll for the encouragement. I missed you too. Gotta lot on my plate. What a pun! Anyway, It builds up my confidence to have support from ya'll. I was kinda bummed because they went from telling me to eat nearly half a dozen small meals to only three a day. No starchy veggies and no sweet/potatoes. Most of all no bread. What the hay hay? I can't get a grilled cheese ? ! Anyway, it's also no pasta. Welp. Pasta salad is out the back door. I want to Eat right now. My question for you ladies....and maybe a gentleman or two...is what is the difference between starving and wanting comfort food? Is the feeling all the same? Am I hungry every two and half hours cause Im stressed? Look forward to your feedback.
Does your cravings for food change with the type of food you eat?
If I remember correctly, it takes 15-30 minutes to digest carbs, like 1-2 hours for protein, and oils are like 4 hours. So, if you eat a lot of carbs, you will be hungry again sooner since your body does not have enough sustaining nutrients. Of course these numbers can vary depending on the complexity of the carbs, but the difference is still marked.
