I like your reasoning and info, Hopefull! I’ve been trying to lose the same 6 or 8 pounds since being on Evenity. I, too, am ravenous and can’t manage to stop eating - “good” food, too. Perhaps it is our body’s need for nourishment to give our bones a boost.

Hi Beanione,

My endocrinologist told me that she'd never heard of hunger as a result of Evenity (eye roll). You and I know that it definitely does.

How many months of Evenity have you had? One indication of bone loss is weight loss, so gaining weight can be a really good sign. Bones have weight, so increased bone density=increased weight.

A few months before starting Evenity, I began forcing myself to eat more, and I put on a few pounds. Shortly after the first set of injections, I suddenly couldn't eat enough. I used the added hunger, like you, to really pack in more "good" food, and I stopped looking at the scale. After 3 sets of injections, I let the doctor weigh me, and I had increased my weight by 10% from the previous year.

I'm not as hungry now, but I'm making myself eat the same amount, and diversity of food to keep feeding my bones.

I've had 5 treatments, and I'm finding that the weight is shifting on my body--decreasing around the middle, and moving--with exercise--to muscle, and hopefully bone. Our bodies can't get the materials it needs for growth from air, so I really think the hunger makes sense. Keep eating! 🙂
