I am on day 2 of induction and I am CONSTANTLY hungry! I don't remember
experiencing this last time I was on Atkins (a good couple of years ago). I
ate a large meal consisting of a hamburger patty, 2 fried eggs and a couple
of strips of bacon. I ate some fried mushrooms on the side, with a dallop of
salsa.

For lunch, I ate a spinach salad with a chopped egg, mozzerlla cheese and
some scallops and shrimp cooked in olive oil and garlic. The salad was
topped off with a very generous serving of oil and vinegar dressing (I used
flax seed oil and white vinegar).

Not much later, I am hungry again and ate a couple of ounces of cheese
(which I plan to cut out altogether  all of next week) and then a serving of
cottage (which will usually satisfy me). Here I am at 4:19 pm and I am STILL
hungry!

Is it ok to eat so much? I know that we ought to eat until we are satisfied.
However, I feel like I am OVEREATING and still not satisfied. I seem to
remember that calories really do matter if they are overconsumed. The only
thing I can think of right now (and this is a personal -and perhaps
incorrect - theory) is that with high-carb consumption, I am used to things
like rice and bread expanding in my stomache, causing a temporary fullness.
I am not getting that now, so maybe I am trying to compensate?

So is it ok to eat and eat like this until ketosis kicks in (and hopefully
staves the hunger more efficiently)? I am not sure what I can consume in the
meantime to feel full longer.

Any suggestions?
