I'm in terrible shape again, I really could use some advice here. I've cut way back on the carbs, aiming for ketosis, and I should be well below 20 carbs per day, the only significant source of carbs I'm getting are in the vegetables I eat with my suppers. I haven't had a slip-up in almost a month now.

Well, the title says it all. I'm ravenously hungry and gaining weight from the extra food I'm eating. (Hard boiled eggs and 90% dark chocolate, which I plan to replace with fat bombs.) This happened the first time I tried for ketosis, but I was eating too many carbs to get into ketosis and too few carbs to function on them, I was so sure I was going to do it right this time.

I don't know what to do. I really enjoy the food I'm eating, but my body obviously needs something it's not getting right now. Are there people who simply can't handle a ketogenic diet maybe? If I'm forced to add carbs back into my diet, how many should I aim for here? Or is there something else I can try to do something about my hunger?

It's so frustrating going on a diet that's supposed to eliminate your hunger and give you endless energy only to be left still starving and still too exhausted to move, I really cannot win here . . .
