I am starving all the time

Posted: Jun 2, 2011

I literally can eat a decent meal, and within 5 minutes I am hungry again. This is getting to be ridiculous, and the weight gain is not funny either. Any suggestions on a natural or over-the-counter appetite suppressant that works?

Instead of an appetite suppressant, take a look at your diet and try adding more protein and eating less carbohydrates, it will help keep you from feeling hungry again so soon.

Best treatment for insulin resistance and diabetes - Judy

As described above, this is the best diet treatment for insulin resistance and diabetes, IMHO. Sugar stimulates the insulin response, along with resultant insulin resistance and big time hunger. Eating more protein and less carbohydrates (includes some fruits, no matter how natural), helps with this. It worked for me. My appetite was controlled, I lost 160 pounds, and no longer experience hyperglycemia or require any glyburide.

Good luck.

By the way, - Judy

I want to add that eating just one serving of carbohydrate-rich foods stimulated my appetite, so all breads, potatoes, rice, legumes, candy, cakes, sugar, flours, high-carb fruits, etc., had to be deleted from my diet. The plans that allowed "just" one or two servings a day did not work for me. I'm sure that everyone is a little different and there may be degrees of severity when it comes to insulin resistance.

basically a sort of Adkin's diet? I am also very, very tired most of the time. I had a high A1C approximately 9 months ago, and had it rechecked 3 months later and it was fine. Diabetes does run in my family. All I know is I feel terrible most of the time, no energy, hungry, moody. It could all be chalked up to old age too - LOL. Thank you for replying :-)

Energy begins in the Kreb's cycle. - You need B vits and glucose

from nonstarchy vegetables. Atkins is a good temporary compensatory diet for some people, but it sounds like it is time to modify it. It is too acidic. You'll end up w/ osteoporosis as well.

Can you help fill the void with water? - Hayseed

My husband has the same issue, and he's overweight AND a diabetic, so it's really hard.

I have him drink a HUGE glass of ice water before every meal and then have another glass with his meal, and then top it all off with yet another glass. The only down side to that is the excessive peeing, but I guess that means everything is still working okay.
;-)

He also "grazes" through the day on a bunch of small snacks recommended by the dietician, so he's constantly eating to maintain level sugars and that helps with appetite control too.

Good luck with whatever you decide. I've tried pills myself but found their "rebound" effect just isn't worth it.

I hear you. I think it is stress (and boredom) for me. - anon

I notice when I have an especially horrid dictator, I want to get up and get something to eat. I think it "calms" me maybe.

Every one of them has serious flaws, either of character, personality, world view, experience, or philosophy - and in most cases more than one of these - that I simply cannot stomach. In my experience, it's always a choice between the lesser of two evils, but this election cycle seems to have brought out a spectacularly miserable collection of candidates. And yes, Sanders and Trump supporters, I mean them too - or perhaps especially them too. It looks like I'll be sitting on my ...

Thought this out carefully. Liberals will live in northeast states and midwest. Conservatives can have california and the south. They will have the warm climate but it is worth it to be free of them. Conservatives can ban all birth control but they wont need it because unless they are married they wont have sex. They will dress in long print dresses and sensible shoes. The womenfolk will spend their time tending their multiple children. For a hobby, the women will ma ...

Today I caught my man "doing things" to a porn site. This was the first time and I thought he didn't do this, kind of because he told me he didn't at the beginning of our relationship. I WORK AT HOME.... I LIVE AT HOME... I barely go anywhere! So this whole thing became a discussion about privacy and lack of it on his part. He said I need to go places and that relationships are healthier if we spend time apart. He thinks I need to find something to do, but ...

The Republican ticket may hail from Massachusetts and Wisconsin, butMitt Romney and Paul Ryan head the most Southernized major U.S. political party since Jefferson Davis’s day. In its hostility toward minorities, exploitation of racism, antipathy toward government and suspicion of science, today’s Republican Party represents the worst traditions of the South’s dankest backwaters. No other party in U.S. history has done such a 180. Founded as the party of t ...

Okay, I think we all know how the human brain works. If you don't, there's a brilliant free online textbook written by J. Richards Heuer describing all of the ways our minds can be hijacked. Other sources, too, of course. "Cognitive dissonance" is a very important concept, in its most simple terms referring to the tricky ways that the mind has of side-stepping evidence that doesn't conform to our preconceived ideas, or evidence that contradicts decisions that we' ...

She almost lost her job in the past because she couldn't get to work on time. Her husband is almost at wit's end. They have never been on time for anything - meals, church, funerals, movies, etc. She is devastated by this and often ends up in tears. Does anyone identify with this and if so, any suggestions? She is an otherwise beautiful, articulate, ...
