Gaining too much with NT fats!

[Guest guest]

>(Heidi, I believe) mentioned her weight was dropping as she found

>herself only eating about 1600 calories/day with high fat intake. I

>get hungry on that amount of calories even with it heavy in fat.

I also cheat and keep track of what I eat, and eat every 3 hours if I get

the " hungries " . I find I get horridly hungry if I eat some food I react to

-- I suspect it has something to do with intestinal absorption or cortisol.

When I react to a food, I get cold hands and feet -- and the next day I am

RAVENOUS. So I do allocate my food in portions, realizing that my

" appestat " is not working correctly during those times. Once I get that

way, I can eat a truly horrendous amount of calories and still be hungry.

So I try to munch on carrot sticks and such until the " hungries " go away.

Part of why I'm tracking my diet is to figure out exactly what I need to

eat to not be hungry all the time. The high-protein high-fat lower-carb

thing seems to work most of the time, until I get a food reaction.

No easy answers!
