Yes.
One of the things that stopped me from cutting further back on carbs was the hunger that followed.
Which I did solve by going near-Carnivore for a while. And I ate slabs of brisket and many link sausages and -- as I was told -- it did moderate and I now eat to appetite, which can be small.
The consensus is that it is the body seeking to get more of the foods with increased nutrition. When I eat more protein and fat, and it's a zero carb source like meat, I get satiated.
Dr. Atkins said it himself: "If you are hungry, EAT." And what wonderful words they were! MORE FAT and ENOUGH PROTEIN is what I discovered my body was really craving.
It might be different for you, but I would not worry about calories, just carbs, and feel free to eat enough of very low carb foods.
Plus SALT. Always get your salt and a magnesium supplement did wonders for me.
