        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.
