Why am I still hungry! Loosing the will

Jez Posts: 18 Joined: 2004/11/03	2004/12/11, 05:15 PM Really would apprecicate some help here guys...this is so frustrating. Ive just eaten a large plate of Chicken with Rice...and I am now more hungry than I was before I started eating. Why am I still hungry! Before the chicken and rice i was sort of hungry, kinda peckish...now i feel starving like I want a massive bag of sweets. Im cutting at the moment, so eating 6 350ish calorie meals a day. Could this be some weird chemical imbalance or something, triggered by eating...why is it that nothing I eat seems to satisfy my hunger in the evenings? What do you guys use as hunger satisfying food? Cheers, Jez.

If you are trying to cut then NO rice. -------------- "A will finds a way, failure is not an option" Ivan carivan@freetrainers.com Montreal Canada

Depending on the type of diet you are on this might help you. Also, make sure you are drinking enough water, when you are thirsty (dehydrated), it can sometimes feel like hunger.

You make a good point about having soup etc before the main meal. I guess that way your having a 2 course meal, which even if only containing the same calories would make you think your eating more, over a longer period of time. I'll try it. The reason I am eating 6x350 calorie meals, is that I read here that to cut I should be having 2000 calories per day (my maintenance is 2700, therefore this should be about 1 1/2 lbs per week lose). I was also told I should have 6 meals per day, which would = 350 calories per meal. Any suggestions welcome I am 26, 170lbs, i dont know my bodyfat unfortunatly, I dont have a gut, but I also dont have a 6 pac, fairly musclular though. Regards, Jez.
