I was on strict Paleo for a long time and was super hungry all the time too. Then I added back in very small portions of brown rice (like 1/4 cup at a time and I noticed I had more energy, less hunger, and my hypoglycemia got much better.

Eggs do get boring! I like to make veggie pancakes sometimes. Shredded carrots and whatever green of your choosing- I usually use kale or chard but spinach would work too. chop up the greens really well and add the shredded carrots together in a bowl. Then add a whisked egg to it and mush them together into cakes. then cook them in some olive oil, like a pancake.

I also like to make "breakfast burritos". Shred up some carrot or some winter squash and then shred up some zucchini or whatever other veggie you want. Sautee it in some olive oil and add some fresh minced garlic and whatever other seasonings you want.

For the "shell" I boil a couple large cabbage leaves just until they are soft or "al dente". Once in a great while I will do a gluten free brown rice tortilla.

In a separate pan cook your eggs (I usually make them over easy).

Then scoop your veggies into your "shell" and put your eggs on top. Roll it all up and you've got a burrito!

I eat these for other meals too sometimes. they are great with chicken or beef too. add some plain yogurt and you've got tacos :)

Yes breakfast can be tough and I'm sure you wouldn't want to have my hot 24 hr bone broth/sea salt and raw egg drink. Both hubby and I have this.

I just make it and drink it. I actually like it. I got so tired of trying to figure out breakfast.

I am in Mexico right now and have been just eating left overs for breakfast. I often just have boiled eggs with veggies and dip.

Somehow my relationship with food has changed. I really only care about eating nutrient dense food and if it happens to taste good than that is a bonus. I do love to make a really delicious supper. That is the meal I really try and satisfy my love of good food.

Hi Dave,

Thanks I did add 1/2 cup brown rice last night and that helped me greatly.

If you come up with any good recipes, pass them on :)

Good Luck :)

I have the megahunger as well in this diet and in my opinion its comes from nutrient starvation and parasites/candida "screaming for".

Marie,

Adding back the small amount of complex carbs really helped me too. I've done alot of research on rice and I have found that long grain brown basmati rice is the best choice. Basmati is the easiest rice to digest, and long grains are lower on the glycemic index than short grains. I'm sure you know that brown has way more nutrients than white, and it has been proven to sustain blood Sugar levels for a longer period of time. They highly recommend it for diabetics. This is probably why adding it back in cuts back the extreme hunger.

I tried paleo/GAPS for a year. I felt that it really did help to heal my digestive tract, but I really was starving all the time. This made me consume alot more meat, which then became really hard on my liver. Rice is one of the oldest staple foods in the world. People have been eating it since the beginning of time. The Japanese eat tons of it everyday and they have an average longer life expectancy than most other races.

I've found that as long as it's not processed and properly prepared, and eaten in the right portions, rice is very nutritious. Good source of B vitamins too!
