[QUOTE="ollie989898, post: 6732571, member: 54866"] There is a difference I think, between a sugar low and genuine hunger. As I have said in other posts elsewhere if prehistoric man had genuine hunger most of the time, given the relative scarcity of food, we would surely not be here at all. The availability and prevalence of starch and simple carbs in virtually every food we eat I believe must be the reason so many of us are 'hungry' all the time. The most highly processed, the more the stuff has been doctored and the easier it is to digest and absorb. I suspect I am not alone when I say I could probably eat 3000 calories worth of McDonalds with ease but I would be feeling hungry again within 2 hours- it just doesn't seem to satisfy for long. That said, I can often go all day on just breakfast and skip lunch until around 4pm though this is probably due to the peculiar work routine I have more than anything. I'm totally without focus at the minute, coming to terms with the realisation I might never get into med school. I've been working largely part time until now but desperately need to find a job for the next 10 months or so to keep my occupied. I don't think I've genuinely been tried out for a long time so my sleep habits have been very poor. Being at college was a good chance to refocus and I really enjoyed the challenge but that is completed now. Need something to give me the rattle of my own money in my pocket and get the ducks in a row for reapplying in the coming year or two, or perhaps taking time to do some DIY on the house and think about alternative futures.
