Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

Have you considered it from these viewpoints:
- You are still ravenous because of a specific nutrient missing in the processed and fast food?
- You aren't getting enough of a specific Vitamin? Are you taking a multivitamin?
- Have you been screened for diabetes? Ongoing ravenous hunger is one of the indicators of a sluggish pancreatic response and slow shut off of insulin production.
- Do you feel hungry because it makes you feel better after eating, and food is a stress response? Do you eat more on a bad day than a good one?
Ask yourself these questions and answer them with as much honest self assessment as you can. Always remember, YOU have the control, and instead of looking at the concept as deprivation, you are choosing to reward yourself with better health and a longer and happier life!
