[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m breastfeeding my first ( 13 days) and I feel like my hunger is out of control. I’m often always hungry and never full for super long. I used to be able to eat every 4-5 hours and now I’m eating what seems like every 2-3 hours. I asked my doctor about this and she said only need an extra 500 calories a day. I tracked my calories one day and I ate almost 2800 calories. We are checking my thyroid but I don’t know what else it can be. How bad is hunger while breastfeeding? [/quote]

Your "hunger" is not really hunger, it's mental. Learn to control it. Easier said than done. :D

Also, eating often promotes more insulin so you get sugar crashes which makes you crave more carbs. Deadly cycle.

Eat more fats and meats and less carbs to help control cravings. [/quote]

Her hunger is real hunger.

Eating like op does with protein + fat blunts the insulin spike from the carbs.

You sound very uneducated and down right unintelligent. [/quote]
