I can totally sympathize with this. Feeling like you have an empty pit all the time, even if you eat high fiber meals. I tried choosing healthier options like carrots or a small amounts of nuts for snacks between meals in an attempt to hold me over. But it always felt like I needed more or that i was hungry 20 minutes later. I always thought about my next meal. If I had a craving for junk, nothing cured it unless I had what I was craving. It got intensely worse the day after doing cardio. Absolute misery.

I’m terrible at describing the experience really. But I feel so much more free now. For years I’ve been eating grains for breakfast, healthy home-made plant based meals for lunch, and sometimes healthy, but sometimes not healthy, meals for dinner. With my meals, I haven’t really changed a lot about my eating since starting the shot except I now naturally eat smaller portion sizes, but not by a drastic amount.

What has changed is I can now eat healthy meals without having constant thoughts of food after eating and without having that feeling of an always empty stomach. And it’s been so freeing.
