@dmd77:
Being hungry can be a problem, while you need a calorie deficit to lose weight, the constant feeling of hunger is problematic, because it can lead to the metabolism slowing down (it is why some people can gain weight while on a strict diet, they have cut their intake, but the body slows down and doesn’t need that much, hence the gain). It is why eating vegetables and other complex carbs is important,they are not calorically dense, yet they also cause you to feel full and not hungry:).
