<p>I am 5'2" and 110 lbs. My eating this past week has been ravenous and resulted in some binges and I think it may have been because of restrictions in nuts, fruit, and starches. But, I am also wondering if my leptin is messed up again or my brain signaling is off? I get hungry after I have eaten more than enough. Then when I fast I get extremely cold. I do twenty-four hour fasts weekly, and if not I wait 16-18 hours before eating again. This weekend was bad though:</p> <p>On Friday I had some leftover crockpot beef stew with veggies, an avocado, and sweet potato for lunch. But then things got messed up and I didn't end up eating dinner until around 8:30 pm which included probably a pound and a half of meat, like 1/4 a bar of 100% dark chocolate, and probably a pound of veggies sauteed in coconut oil. Maybe I am missing something in my diet?</p> <p>So then I fasted for 24 hours and my dinner consisted of a huge plate of grilled octopus and olive oil, beets in olive oil, and then grilled shrimp with grilled veggies, and green beans with tomato sauce. I was still so hungry afterwards that I literally ate an ENTIRE fruit plate. </p> <p>Woke up starving this morning so I had to eat an avocado as a snack. Then went to some brunch and ate another pound and half of ham, lamb, and beef tenderloin, aspharagus, carrots, beets, parsnips, and more (lots), bacon, and since I was still starving FRUIT! I went home hungry and had some 100% dark chocolate and stuffed my face with coconut flakes. Anyways this is the longest post ever, but WHAT IS GOING ON?!</p>

<p>You don't say if you're doing any exercising. If so, what are you doing?</p>

<p>Is it because your body is trying to tell you that you are too thin? 110 pounds is incredibly light. What is your body fat %. Are you male or female? </p>

<p>I don't think you need to be fasting. </p>

<p>April has it right. Get into a normal eating schedule then after a couple months of that if you need to tweak, do some fasting. Fasting is a minor adjustment you play with AFTER everything else is dialed in and working. </p>

<p>I hope this information is helpful:</p> <p>From a previous post: <a href="http://paleohacks.com/questions/46722/how-do-i-lose-weight#axzz1rUJ4ZsiT" rel="nofollow">http://paleohacks.com/questions/46722/how-do-i-lose-weight#axzz1rUJ4ZsiT</a></p> <p><em><strong>CORTISOL AND GREHLIN:</em></strong></p> <p>The bad guys...</p> <p>Keeping the intense portion of your workout (Start to finish) below 45 minutes should keep cortisol away. Also relaxing keeps it away. Cortisol takes away lean muscle which is bad for weight loss. Because each pound of muscle burns calories for you.</p> <p>Grehlin or why did I just eat an entire bag of oreos, chips, etc.. Or even why did I eat so much Paleo approved food...</p> <p>Sleep and meals reduce grehlin levels. Lack of sleep means higher grehlin levels. Grehlin levels go down when you eat. So fasting is a more advanced technique and if you are still devouring massive food after dinner than it is not time to add fasting yet.</p> <p>So to beat grehlin sleep at least 7 hours (Likely you need more)... And eat a big protein breakfast, eat lunch and dinner.</p> <p>Grehlin builds after each meal so go to bed early will help with the munchies and staying up late is a trigger... </p>
