Woman feeling constant hunger pangs on palumbo diet. How to blunt appetite?

[sassy69]

I'm curious if the clen is making her feel hungry? It tends to do that sometimes.

So you will stay relatively carb free for 16 weeks? don't you feel you will lose a lot of size?
I have always carb cycled in the past and was thinking about the Keto diet.

I lost no size from keto dieting. I think that's a myth, to be honest. I think Deb will tell you the same thing.

My woman is following the female palumbo diet to the letter. She has her weekly one cheat meal a week. In the beginning all was well she wasnt feeling hunger pangs and was making wonderful progress. For the past few weeks she says she has constant hunger pangs even though she is sticking to the diet to the letter and feels miserable and wants food. First i thought it might be just the hormonal stuff during her period but that is not the case. Are there any supplements she can take to blunt her appetite? She is following the diet EXACTLY as it is laid out which is

MEAL #1
2 whole (OMEGA-3) Eggs with 6 egg whites

MEAL #2
35g Whey protein Isolate with 1 tablespoon all natural peanut butter

MEAL #3
6oz chicken (ostrich, or turkey) with 1/4-cup (1oz) cashew nuts, or almonds, or walnuts (vary it)

MEAL #4
5oz salmon, swordfish, or RED MEAT with a green salad (no tomatoes, red peppers, or carrots) with 1 tablespoon of Olive Oil or Mac Nut Oil and vinegar

MEAL #5
35g Whey Protein Isolate with 1 tablespoon all natural peanut butter or 2 whole (OMEGA-3) EGGS with 6 whites

cheat meal once per week (in place of meal #5).

She is taking clen 2 weeks on 2 weeks off so i dont know if adding epdedrine hcl on top of that is a good idea but i know epdedrine is good for blunting the appetite. Any other good OTC products for blunting the appetite. Any advice for calorie free fiber dense foods that can help her feel full?

Did she hire Dave or is this just a version that she got from the boards?

Yep Day 4 for me and I'm hungry too! I am drinking a ton of water not sure if I can take anything for the appetite? I just assumed it was my metabolism revving up. That and the second I start to eat I start to sweat?!?!? Is that weird?

do you own a glucometer? You may be experiencing hypoglycemia.

could be the clen ,how much clen is she taking and what thermagentic is she using on the 2 weeks off?I dont know if she hired Dave(sounds like she didnt)but as Debbie can tell you(i have been on his diet from him)it's not just this cookie cutter eat this meal1 2 3 4 5 6 ,theres alot more to it,and Dave has to make those changes as things happen so my guess is if you did hire him you wouldnt be havn probs,and/or he would change something in your program,whata think Deb?

I think sometimes it's hunger in our heads and not in our tummies. For instance, I just ate 20 minutes ago and I'm not satisfied, therefore, I could interpret that as still being hungry. But if I'm honest with myself, my tummy is not growling. I feel no hunger pains. I just WANT more food.

Sometimes it's that our body needs more water and sends out the signal that we hungry, when infact it's water that it's craving. I read this somewhere!

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm almost always hungry on a contest diet, especially from about 6 or 8 weeks out up until the contest. I mean, it makes sense...reduced calories and increased cardio (in addition to training) is going to create an energy deficit, so you'd probably be pretty hungry, no?

[GirlyMuscle]

I agree. The last two months of my contest prep I was always hungry. The four months before that..not so much.

EXACTLY. And it's a huge difference. We live in a culture that tends to eat until MENTALLY satisfied, not physically satiated. The two concepts are different. Most people can't get their head past the lack of mental satisfaction and just keep insisting they're hungry....

[jompao]

Casein instead of Whey and more fat?

I try to turn my "dang, I'm hungry and want more food" thinking around to "yes! I'm hungry, the diet is working" kind of thoughts. lol It really is a mental battle.

[amy13]

sounds stupid but works for me...

some apple cider vinegar in the water - lemon too just so I can drink it.
totally kills my appetite.

[Youngguns]

Lots of water and broccoli. If you need something else brush your teeth, or opt for naturally flavored drink. We need to find a good pill that blunts hunger though, a lot of weight loss pills do this, I'm not sure what the exact ingredient is though.

Let us know how she's doing!... I am on a keto-esque diet (I think I'm on less than 50g carbs a day, my coach keeps track of everything.) The first week was HELL. So that is normal. I was working with someone before who had me eating a pound of sweet potatoes a day! My body had to make the transition as it went through the glycogen. I honestly do think its mental. I have not lost any size, just fat! The diet soda does help, like everyone says. Also, be aggressive with the water intake. I try to get that first liter in before breakfast is even over, so that way my stomach doesn't even have a chance to feel full. I hope she is able to adjust!
