I'm not hungry. I know I'm not. Ketosis stops that and I am getting everything I need. But right now I'm still feeling the need to eat! And I know it's a total head hunger but argh, someone make it go away!
1. Focus on giving the hunger to someone. You may not even know someone who is poorly and needs to eat but just think of someone ie a CA patient or someone with anorexia or even a sick baby and how important it is they need to eat. Channel your thoughts to the hunger going to them. I do this a lot.
2. I don't deny the hunger because my head knew it was hungry. I was then getting into an internal battle with myself. So instead I accept the hunger, try to get to the bottom of it and just remember I don't need to act on the hunger.
However one of the things I loved about ketosis was knowing if I was hungry, it was an emotional or head hunger and not physical. If I wasn't in ketosis, I know there were times I'd have really struggled to tell the difference between the two hungers.
Painful, isn't it? I get hungry a lot in ketosis, even though everyone says you're not supposed to, so I must get 'head' hunger a lot. Mind you, I don't get that rush of energy everyone talks about either, so maybe I'm just plain weird. :sigh:
I reckon, hun, that you need to go to bed! That should fix it for tonight.
