Which brand are you using? Most on grocers' shelves are diluted and
have a bisulfite preservative, except the Thai Kitchen brand.
Your hunger could be a sensitivity/allergy to the preservative...
unless you're consuming only that sip of c-milk for your daily food!
I use the full-fat TK brand, and have no hunger after-effects
to be sure. Works great in non-dairy smoothies at the end of
the day. Lasts all night, wake up hungry.
TO check on coconut sensitivity, get a fresh coconut and
eat some of the raw meat. If you experience the same symptoms,
maybe it's the coconut itself that's the problem. YMMV!
