One of the big things that people get concerned about is hunger. But when you are eating Keto style, being hungry is not the same as it is when you are on a diet. Learn more in today’s "Your Keto Journey"© post.
Did you realize that HUNGER may come from different sources? It’s true.
The 1st and most obvious source of HUNGER is that your body gets low on fuel and you need to consume healthy, clean food and water in order to get refueled. Many people think that is all there is to it. Not true.
A 2nd source of HUNGER is that you have eaten too much protein. When you overdo it on your proteins, this action can make you hungry, even when your body does not require more food. In his book, “Dr. Colbert’s Keto Zone Diet”, Doctor Colbert talks about sensitivity to excess proteins. If this is your situation, less protein and more fat may help by keeping you in the keto zone and causing you to be less hungry.
A 3rd source of HUNGER is artificially sweetened drinks. You can google Gregory Neely, artificial sweeteners, as I did and find a recent finding from 2017 from the University of Sydney that discusses artificial sweeteners.
A 4th sources of HUNGER is wheat and grains. Simply google William Davis, md and find some interesting correlations between wheat vs. high blood sugar and increase in appetite. Get this: Doctor Davis says it makes no difference whether you are talking about multigrain, organic or sprouted. His information and findings are worth looking at.
A 5th source of HUNGER is consuming too many carbs and sugars. While it is true that carbs and sugars will lift you from a low energy level, it is also true that very soon after you eat these carbs and sugars, you are headed for blood sugar crash. This is not what you want. Go ahead and google sugar and adrenal fatigue and see what you learn.
Over indulging in proteins will cause your body to turn the excess proteins into sugar.
What to do about it?
Regularly using artificial sweeteners is not good for your body.
What to do about it?
Choose something instead of wheat and grains to incorporate into your meals.
How to do this?
Avoid too many carbs and sugars.
How to do this?
No matter the source of your hunger, once you determine the source of it you can make adjustments to the way you eat to get rid of it. Hunger when you are eating Keto style is a sign that you need to make an adjustment. But you can easily make those adjustments and stay on Your Keto Journey.
