(Longer being a relative term - trying to go 3 or 4 hours instead of 2 hours) It was a gnawing hungry, the kind where you would eat almost anything, even something you hated - just to try to fill what felt like an enormous empty hole in your stomach.



That was exactly my experience. I was ravenously hungry and didn't understand how people managed to control their eating. I felt I was horribly defective in this regard and all the time it was the high carbs I was consuming. It is sad that so many people do not understand this.
