6 Months In - Big Appetite

[logicwand 269]

So I'm in month 6 and I noticed lately I can eat a lot more without my stomach getting uncomfortable. Is this part of the natural healing process? Or maybe it's because I upped my exercise? How was YOUR appetite 6 months out? I don't need to be concerned do I? (Other than watching what and how much I eat? LOL)

Sounds typical actually, 6 months out, your body is fully healed and potentially has already figured out your new normal. As long as you aren't overeating, there is no pain or discomfort or other odd side effects from eating, then you shouldn't be worried.

Does sound typical once inflammation is completely gone you have more space for food

However

Watch the type of foods you're eating more of. Carb heavy and hidden sugar foods make you hungrier for seemingly no reason at all (but there is a scientific reason) If you've reached your macro limits try sauteed low carb vegetables (mostly cruciferous) , broth or tea.

It takes some practice and balance especially when you can eat much more, I finally understand why teams push Protein first... (9 month later 😓)
