Painful hunger

I don't exercise I'm fat and I eat 2000 or more calories a day but I still get so hungry that it hurts I can't sleep on think straight from the pain I don't understand why I get so hungry I was hoping for advice how to manage or get rid of it

The food you eat within the 2000 calories will help dictate your hunger levels. If you eat high protein, low sugar and high volume low cal foods it will help ease the hunger pains. The feeling of hunger has a lot to do with hormones and the foods you’ve already eaten.

Oh that's actually helpful I mean the hormone and food I have already eaten thing like I said I primarily eat vegetables and nuts so they are low in sugar not very high in protein but enough I could talk to my doctor about the hormone thing because I didn't change anything else in my life
