[QUOTE="cold ethyl, post: 583415, member: 107467"] I think you capture the issue very nicely there. Some of us, for whatever reason, be it emotional, habit or metabolic, just don't seem to have a properly working full switch. I find it easier to recognise that I am full now I am on low carbs and have frequently left food on my plate since switching to it which was unheard of before. I am learning to have a drink of water first when I feel " hungry" as often it is thirst rather than hunger. I think one of the dangers of the high fat diet message is that you don't need to count calories- to some extent that is probably true, but not if you can eat a pound of cheese or a bag of nuts as a snack. I think it is those things that probably slow down or stop the weight loss in a lot of people trying the diet. An apple as a snack is perfectly portion controlled in a way that a hand dipping into a jar of nuts isn't! [/QUOTE]
