I did a very low carb diet for a year, 4.5 years ago. Ever since then, I can't seem to store glycogen because I get hungry soon after eating, and often wake up multiple times a night with ravenous hunger.
I've been following a Peat-inspired diet for nearly a year but haven't made much progress with this issue. I eat plenty of food and have put on 30 pounds of fat since switching to this way of eating. But still feeling insatiably hungry most of the time. I have macros and micros covered (heaps of fruit, some potatoes, bone and greens broth, lots of cheese, an egg or two daily, liver weekly, meat to get enough protein since I can't drink milk, chocolate, shellfish, lots of salt). Getting plenty of sun.
I eat very frequently--don't have much choice because I get hungry so often.
What else can I do to increase glycogen storage? I feel like I'm chained to the kitchen. And any stress, whether from life stress or the stress of ovulating and menstruating every month, makes this much worse. It's also hard to get back to sleep after waking up to eat, so I typically don't get enough rest due to this issue.
