Your body is probably really starving for nutrition, and that is why you are feeling so abnormally hungry. I understand the difficulty dealing with this. Try eating small meals through out the day, this will not put any extra burden on your system and you won't feel so overwhelmed with hunger, it does not have to be a lot each time, just something to get the nourishment back in you, such as smoothies, yogurt, etc.

I did some research on this pill, and it seems that over-whelming hunger is a side effect of it as is headaches. Here is the link to it, it has comments written by other women who are on this particular pill, it may help you.
