I'm supposed to be on a diet, & I've been trying to practice eating fruits & veggies, as well as other healthy foods. After I eat the fruits & vegetables, my hunger is still not satisfied. Do you think my body is craving for unhealthy food like chips & cookies, since that's what I'm used to eating?
I really want to lose this weight. I always get hungry & can't sleep in the middle of the night UNTIL I eat something. I can't go to bed on an empty stomach. There's no way for me to ignore this. I can't fall asleep until I had something to eat. I try to eat something like lots of lettuce during the middle of the night & drink lots of water, & I'm still hungry. Do you think my psychiatric medicine is causing this?

No the food is pleasing, so you want more and feel it when you don't eat enough....but your hunger is a strong urge and you need to build resistance to it....do it in three steps...
1. get a note book and keep adiary of what you eat, and what time....
2...don't starve yourself, eat small amounts of whatever...stretch out the time so your eating a bowl of chips say 3 chips each hour for 6 hours....thats only 18 chips....
do the same for other things like cake or ice cream....
3 prepare healthy food ...cut them in quarters and eat one quarter of your food, and wait 1/2 hour or longer to eat the next quarter....this slows the matabilizum...sp
when youve eaten all your food time yourself and make sure you have something to eat each 4 to 5 hours...but make sure its small. small portions are better...never fill up .

I think you may need more protein in your diet. Are you trying to stay away from meat? If so, there are legumes and other things you can eat. Either way, you need to get some protein in your diet to satisfy your hunger.

It could be the medicine. If your drinking lots of water I dont know if theres much more you can do.
