I was having blood sugar problems and extreme hunger. when I was eating too many carbs. I think it will level off. And, if you need to eat, eat. Just make sure it is a CM or CS. The CALP book doesn't restrict eating. It says to eat when you are hungry until you are satisfied.

One idea for something to make up could be a pot of soup with some meat, like chicken along with lots of LC veggies, like cabbages, celery, whatever tastes good to you. Whenever you get hungry, ladle out a bowl. It will do exactly what you need it to. give you an easy source for a CM or a CS.

I do find that Equal (Nutrasweet/aspartame) trigger strong sugar cravings for me. I also find that I get hunger cravings from MSG.
