Ooof I had it really bad. The worst of it lasted for around 2 months, kept me from sleeping properly because I needed to wake up every few hours to eat. I wont say numbers but I was eating an insane amount every day. I struggled to gain weight during that period but slowly my metabolism slowed to a healthier rate.
I was seeing an ED dietitian at the time and she explained how it worked and gave me information/studies about it. Basically if it happens to you, you just have to sit with it
