I basically never felt satiated from eating, nor did my brain tell me what nutrients I needed. Nowadays, I will literally not be hungry for certain types of food while craving others.
For example, I used to eat an excess of greasy or unhealthy food in order to feel full (satisfy my nutrient requirements). If I tried that now on estrogen, I would not even want to eat most of the greasy food. I feel queazy at the thought of eating cake if I had any sugar that day, or of eating a burger two days in a row. I instead crave unprocessed vegetables or fruit. It’s like my brain actually communicates what my body needs for the first time in my life.
I’ve been more in this camp for most of my life. I have no solutions, the only thing that worked for me was HRT.
Just need a little bit of gender fluid to make things right lol
Interesting, how does the HRT help? Like this?
