Rich, have you tried eating whole, real foods in a conscious way rather than trying to "feel full fast" and eating fat free (artificial) dressing.

Your body is much smarter than you realize. I can't imagine "feeling full" is comfortable for you, it isn't for me. Feeling full and satisfied are two different things.

I just recently finished a 21 day "diet" if you will where I could eat as much as I wanted of any fresh fruits or veggies, olive oil, cooked veggies, and a half cup of brown rice or lentils a day. I felt full a lot and I felt hungry a lot, it took about a week for me to get in tune with what my body wanted and not what my mind felt it needed to have.

After the second week, I could add a few ounces of chicken per day. I quickly lost interest in junk foods and the few times I put refined food (even artisananl whole wheat bread) it tasted like cardboard, not like food.


At the end of the 21 days I learned to distinguish real food and nutrition from "filler"

Try eating as much raw fruit and veggies as you want for a week, skip anything that is processed or refined. See how you feel.
