Suggest Treatment For Polyphagia

I HAVE A REAL PROBLEM WITH HUNGER. I GET SO HUNGRY I CAN NOT STAND IT. I GET SHAKY AND WEAK. I WAKE UP VERY HUNGRY. NOTHING SEEMS TO HELP WITH MY HUNGER EXCEPT RED MEAT. I HAVE TESTED MY BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS AND THERE DOES NOT SEEM TO BE ANY PROBLEM WITH MU GLUCOSE LEVELS. HUNGER IS A CONSTANT BATTLE WITH ME. THIS CAN MAKE ME DEPRESSED. ONLY EATING A GOOD STEAK SEEMS TO SATISFY ME FOR ABOUT 4 TO 5 HOURS. I NEED SOME ADVICE ON THIS HUNGER PROBLEM.
