Hi Cicely:

I think Koko's got it dead on. I found the same thing. In the beginning it was a struggle trying to eat all the food. Now I'm definately finding myself hungrier. I agree that it is the healing process. For healing BOAGs, insulin (the building hormone) must be higher than adrenaline and cortisol, so it's natural that we would be hungrier.

That's a good question b/c Dr. S. mentions that hunger increases adrenaline which is why she has us eat 5 smaller meals each day. I remember reading in your journal that you'd lost 4 pounds unintentionally so I'd probably eat as soon as I was hungry. If you have to add in an extra snack throughout the day, so be it. Otherwise, maybe you should try to increase your sat fat intake at each meal to help carry you through the next 3 hours between meals.

Just some thoughts...
