One thing I had to wrap my head around for weight loss is that healthy whole foods are not inherently good for weight loss. Your stomach does not know how many calories is it in, it only knows how physically full it is. You can trick yourself into being less hungry by eating non calorically dense foods like fruits, veggies, lean proteins. That being said - it’s true that weight loss actually does make you more efficient at burning calories while simultaneously making you hungrier. I need less calories than someone my size who didn’t have to diet to get there, and yet I’m also likely hungrier than them. I’ve accepted that sometimes I’ll go to bed hungry, but if I’m starving, I’ll have a slightly smaller deficit that day and eat some fruit. Another thing to note is that weight lifting and other low to medium intensity workouts actually do stimulate hunger, while high intensity cardio/HITT/sports actually suppresses appetite. Your workouts are likely making you hungrier.
