God, will I ever feel hungry ever again on the AD?

Anyone else finding this hard? I never, ever feel hungry, and the amount of food I need to eat to get up to even 3000 let alone 3500-4000 is so hard to put away. My guts feel like they're bursting all the time!

Almost done my first 2 weeks no carbs, and trying to think how the hell I'm gonna manage this for a year or more!

I also found on this diet I never experienced any of the drowsy/light headed feelings or any other bad side effects, which I suppose is good. Never felt like I lost any strength in the gym either, if anything I feel better/stronger.

Feels so weird having two meat meals a day as well. I'm gonna keep going with this but man, I guess I just felt like having a moan, cos my stomach sure is!

Cheers,
Jay

Jay, I had pretty much the same experience. I was eating pretty low carb, paleo-ish before switching to AD, so I had no problems with negative effects. My biggest issue was, and continues to be, getting enough calories. Especially since I'm trying to gain some weight.

The things I've had success with are spreading snacks out throughout the day (nuts, bits of cheese, etc.) and taking liquid calories (a shot or two of olive oil, raw eggs). You don't want to go overboard with liquid fats if you're trying to lose weight or cut bodyfat, but they can be a lot easier to work in between meals.

Another idea is to try and eat on a very consistent schedule. Your body gets used to feed times and begins to expect intake, even if you're not really "hungry."

Drink cream. One quart contains 3200 kcal. Easiest and tastiest way to add calories on AD. Beats nasty olive oil anyday.
