I need some help

I copied and pasted your response and send it off to my French friend to see what she would say.  From her response, it became clear to me that she meant grazing rather than snacking.  English is still her second language and I think that might be the culprit. 

I agree. Grazing is not something that I have seen here at all.

y'all can do it! I went through the same thing. I am so hard headed, I had to do it my way, fall on my face, have hunger pains et****il I realized that what the vets say is true. 

The carbs do matter. If I really watch it, and keep it under 40, at night, I don't have those hunger pains for sugar or whatever it may be. I have been very cautious of that lately and so at night, if I do get a tiny little craving, I grab a pickle :)  

 

I thought Gum was my friend.......it's not!!!   One day at work,  I chewed and entire pack which was 30 CARBS!!! I had gone over that day up to about 60 carbs and then you throw in the dang gum, thats up close to 100 carbs. No wonder I was hungry! 

Thank you everyone! I am thinking my carbs are the problem. Here's to tracking and detoxing.

You can do it! I'm right there with you! 

Do you take an PPI?  It could be acid.

No I don't take any ppi

The afternoon was my worst time for feeling hungry.  I am fine though if I have something warm to drink and so the last couple of months I have been drinking the Bariwise Hot chocolate - it's really good, 15 grams of protein,  4 or 5 carbs depending on the flavor and 70 calories.  It really does take away my hunger and I get in the added protein.  Sometimes its what I have for dinner since its very filling.

something to consider about gum.

I was advised it can lead to hunger, here's how

it increases  salivation, which is the first stage in digestion, all the extra salivation and your body is wondering when the

food will follow .
