Are you ever hungry, even when you’re full? If you find that you’re hungry even after eating, or that you’re just not satisfied after a meal, this video is for you. 

Why you’re hungry after eating:

1. You have insulin resistance 

2. Your diet is low in nutrients 
It takes nutrients to fix insulin resistance. Nutrients are also one of the things that turn off hunger. It’s really important to make sure your food is nutrient-dense. You especially need minerals like potassium and magnesium. 

3. Low bile 

4. Low fat 
You’re not consuming enough fat in your diet. The fat in your food will give you fat-soluble vitamins and essential fatty acids. This will help you heal insulin resistance and help you feel more satisfied. 

* Intermittent fasting will help heal insulin resistance. Ideally, you need to fast for 18 hours. Intermittent fasting will help you tap into fat burning and start making ketones. Ketones help suppress appetite and will help you feel satisfied. To make ketones, you need to do intermittent fasting, keep carbs low, and avoid snacking.

This was one of the symptoms that finally got me to start doing research into my diet.
I could eat till it was mechanically impossible for me to put anything else into my stomach and still have cravings.
Never Satisfied, Always Hungry. Something was definitely not right.
It took about 6 months of various keto/fasting cycles but now food satisfies again, tastes better, and gives me more energy.

Before going low carb, I used to have this sensation of feeling full and simultaneously hungry at the same time. This sensation was not ameliorated overnight. It took several months of being strictly low carb before this feeling subsided. For those who experience this seemingly paradoxical condition of having your belly full of food, but still feeling hungry, while first starting a low carb diet, all I can say is give it time. Eventually this will go away. I would also advise that until this feeling fully subsides, don't start a fasting program, as it will make it that much more difficult to sustain.

Never hangry and ALWAYS satisfied on Keto...saved my life...seriously

[chukkavishwavaram]

18 hours of intermittent fasting really worked well for me...with 2 Keto meals in 6 hours...fixed this type of hunger problem..

Could you do a lot more videos on menopausal women and low carb/keto with IF, who are battling insulin resistance, as well?

I feel the most satisfied when drinking green shake which consists of kale, beet greens, collard greens, Swiss chard, book choy, broccoli, celery, cauliflower, ace, ginger, turmeric, lemon, chia/flax seeds, coconut oil, and a few drops of berry stevia. Without fail this shake has kept me the most happy and satisfied than any meal in the 9 months I've been on keto. I look forward to it everyday

This is my entire life right here in a nutshell

Thanks Dr Berg. This hit the top of my list!!!! Every night after dinner, within 15 minutes, I’m ready for something sweet! One bite, then another and so on until the guilt! Gotta try harder!

Dr. Berg just described my life. Now I know what to fix. Thanks.

Not if I eat a delicious rib eye steak. True nutrient density!

What about those of us who have had our gall bladder removed and have bial running into our intestines all the time? And what effect does gall bladder removal have on the pancreas, and causing pancreatitis?

I used to suffer from insulin resistance but ever since I found you Dr.Berg my sugars went down to a "5.1 A1C", lost 30 lbs, no more headaches, doctors reduced my insulin, and finally was pulled off one of my blood pressure medicines.

As someone who struggles with OCD and and binge eating disorder, some days it's hard. Like it's difficult to strike a balance between starving myself and IF and OMAD which usually leads to over eating and self loathing or under eating and even more self loathing! Overall after 2 months of healthy keto, I have seen improvement in my depression, but I am still struggling nonetheless. ☹️

I benefit greatly from repetition. I do not tire of hearing principles of IF & Keto over & over again & at the same time it's a bit challenging for me to go searching through the vast array of videos. I'm still hungry eventhough I'm full. I've been Keto & IFing for 1 1/2 years now & when I do prolong fasting I become uncomfortable with symptoms. I might not be eating enough nutrient dense foods at my OMAD. thank you for this video. May you show us more meal planning like examples of a OMAD. They help motivate me! Thanks Dr Berg & thank you for your lovely wife who supports you cos a good wife is hard to find and I know she is good cos you're good😉
P.S. I am saving this video to my "Most Important Dr Berg Video's"👍

I was doing NSNG 18/6 IF for six months and my hair started falling out and my left eye twitches. Felt totally fine though. Never hungry.

[rubyfirefly]

"Are you ever hungry even when you're full?" YES!! OMG! Thank you, Dr. Berg! I have mentioned this to family and friends to see if anyone has this feeling and they all look at me like I'm nuts. I knew I wasn't imagining it! I've recently cleaned up my diet and eating healthy on two meals a day. I'm prepared for it to take time. Just wondering how much time?

[reneebarnes]

Yep had to work up to a full 48 hour fast several times to break through the insulin resistance

[psychosocial]

DR BERG Please make a video about very skinny people on keto and IF

[opinionsonthings]

How about for those of us who have had our gallbladders removed? Anything we need to be worried about as far as intermittent fasting and Keto?
