Actually, I am a low-carber for life who is experiencing a problem with hunger after losing 125lbs.

After I attained my goal weight of 140-145 lbs, I was able to keep it there for about 6 months before the hunger began.

For the past year I have battled with constant hunger. It is strongest in the morning, when I first wake up, until about 2-3 in the afternoon, and seems to taper off. Even though I lost all that weight on low-carb eating and continue to eat low-carb, I have acute sugar cravings, which I never or rarely had while I was losing weight. I have gained 10-12 lbs back in the last year because I feel totally controlled by this hunger that will not go away unless I eat abnormally large amounts of food.

I think the reason I have not gained more than that is because I do high intensity work outs 5-6 days a week. I lift weights with a trainer and do aerobics at a bodybuilding gym, as well as jogging, bicycling, swimming, and yoga.

Also, please refer to this post:

This person also seems to be suffering from something similar.

Thanks for reading! I'm new to this forum
