Are you more hungry during ketosis?

For the past 2 days I have been eating enough but I have been starving! Like my stomach feels empty and I get those hunger pains. This has never happened to me before on Atkins. It is my 7th day and I am in moderate ketosis. I'm guessing its got to be ketosis since I've never got to this before..

Anyways its only 11:am and I had a salad and 2cups of chicken with butter and oil of course..

My totals so far off of Fitday are..
Totals 941 65 14 79

Fat: 65 583 62%
Sat: 11 97 10%
Poly: 7 60 6%
Mono: 17 152 16%
Carbs: 14 48 5%
Fiber: 2 0 0%
Protein: 79 316 33%

Whats wrong with me and why am I so hungry still? I'm drinking my water..I don't have PMS and Its only 11:00am, by 11:00 tonight I'm probably going to hit 3,000 calories..eck I'm scared now.

Actually, ketosis is known to curb hunger, not cause it. For me it totally supresses my appetite. As a sufferer of acid reflux and pre-ulcerus stomach conditions (under control with lowcarbing), what you have described sounds like an irritated stomach lining, 'cause that is what I used to feel like...

Try a protein shake or two during the day...
