W3 R1 hunger!

I have an under active thyroid which has been managed with 150mg daily thyroxine and I'm diabetic type 2 which after successful weight loss I manage through diet.... however since doing C25K I'm finding I'm hungry a lot more than I was. It's tricky as I have to have low carbs but the high protein isn't making much of a difference to the hunger. Any tips or suggestions would be massively appreciated please :)

What is C25K?

Couch to 5 kilometres. A programme to get people running.

Lovalatte , seems to me obvious that if you've started running, you're going to be more hungry. You're using up more calories, you need to replenish them. How's your fat intake?

By, the way, your pseudonyme does make life rather difficult, what on earth do we call you for short? Can't type Well_SheSaidSheWould every time we want to address you? :)

And, what are W3 and R1?

I think the OP is referring to the C25K programme where W3 is Week 3 and R1 is Run 1

OK, thank you, RedApple. Not something I know anything about. Running is just not my thing. :)

No way - uses up all your T3 ... but I'm stupidly doing 100 push ups (well, obviously not 100 yet)

Hey greygoose

Thank you for your reply... I'm a newbie to these sites and technology isn't my forte at all but it seems I have posted my "W3 R1 hunger" to the wrong group! Oooopss sorry peepz 🙈

Thank you all for the replys though 🙃

Hope you get the replies you need on the C25K site. :)
