Diet Community

So I have been on my healthy journey for over four years now. I eat very healthy foods and don't even crave junk food. My problem, especially lately, is that I'm eating way to much food.

I'm 5'4' and at a very healthy weight for me, which is about 135. Now I'm trying to lose just a little more weight to get rid of those "trouble spots" - the belly, the butt, and the thighs. I think if I were to lose about 5 lbs I would have a really toned look, because I'm like a size 6 and about 18-19% body fat right now.

My diet now consists of lean proteins (like turkey, eggs, whey protein, etc.), a ton of green veggies, fruits, healthy fats like nuts and dairy, and healthy carbs like oatmeal, sweet potato, and rice. I do have a gluten intolerance so that limits my carb options. I try to eat 5 or 6 small meals a day, but lately that has become 8 or 9. Its disgusting how much I'm eating. At every meal I make sure to never eat a starch by itself, so I alway combine a protein, a carb, and a fat. Theoretically, that should have an good effect on my blood sugar. I've always had a problem with extreme hunger my whole life, but its been getting to the point where I can't control it now. People say its boredom or just wanting to eat, but I don't think so. About 1 to 1.5 hours after eating my stomach is growling, I'm irritable, shaky, my ears are ringing and my vision starts going black. Its strange because I get this reaction no matter how much I eat, whether its 300, 500, or 800 calories. When I eat, I eat until I'm full. I'm always very satisfied with both the taste and the amount of my food, its just that I go from full to hungry very very quick.

I drink plenty of water (over 100 ounces a day) and I take a fiber supplement to promote fullness. I LOVE exercise, and typically exercise 30 - 45 minutes 6 days per week. I alternate between strength training, cardio, and flexibility exercises. I've been exercising at this rate for 4 years now, so I don't think my exercise regimen has anything to do with this increase in appetite. I've been to a doctor about this and they can't find anything in my blood work indicating why I'm so hungry (like thyroid function, diabetes, etc). I'm not taking any medications, only herbal supplements. My doctor has noticed that I have a lot of vitamin and mineral deficiencies (like iron, vitamin B, calcium, potassium, and a few others), which is odd because my healthy diet should be giving me everything I need. The herbal supplements I take are to address these deficiencies. I'm also very happy at this point in my life, so I know that I'm not turning to food out of stress or depression.

So that's it. Sorry to write a novel, I just wanted to give everyone the complete background so I can get the best answer. Am I doomed to be this hungry my whole life? Since I get shaky and lose my vision, is it safe to tough it out and ignore the hunger? If so, do you have any tips for ignoring the hunger? As I said before, I've already tried all of the anti-hunger tips that I could find (staying hydrated, combining macronutrients, eating more fiber, upping my protein intake, small meals throughout the day) but I would definitely be open to trying anything else that may help (other than appetite suppressing diet pills).

Thank you!
