Hunger pangs, but no apetite?

[Yewtree]

Hi everyone! Here is the thing; I have pretty much no apetite, but I ocassionally get hunger pangs.

When I do get them, I don't feel like eating really. Is this normal?

By looking at my fitday figures I am clearly not eating enough....I am clearly not eating enough lately.

I have lost 2 inches on my waist since the beginning of induction (2.5 wks ago), but GAINED inches on my thighs and hips. So clearly, I am not measuring myself correctly either.

The apetite/hunger thing has me spooked...

Thanks,

Loss of appetite is a sign of ketosis and is why this "diet" is so great---you don't feel hungry.

Since you are in the no appetite range now, it's really important for you to make sure you go no more than 6 waking hours without eating something. If you have to eat 4-6 smaller meals throughout the day, do it.

Hi YewTree, :wave

You don't feel hungry because your in ketosis..which is a good and healthy thing - providing you eat!

Megs has given you great advice, break your meals down into 5-6 small ones...stretch out your veggies throughout the day and you'll be just fine. Your body is doing quit a bit of adjusting to all these new changes but you'll adjust and the small meals even if your not feeling hungry will help you to get back into a normal eating pattern before you know it.

If having meals is too much for you why not prepare lots of snacks so you can have a rollup here, a few broccoli florets with a tasty dip there, a mini quiche later etc so you have a small snack every hour or so and eat the equivalent of three main meals over the course of the day.
