I followed PP/PPLP for about 7 years. Hunger was always a problem for me on it, unfortunately. For some reason, I was under the impression that, while you could eat fat on PP/PPLP, you still had to be "careful" with the amounts. This time around, my plan is a little more Atkins-esque, in that I'm allowing myself more fat--all I want, really, along with my minimum protein requirement and I'm noticing much better hunger control. I also have better hunger control if my carbs for the day don't include grains. Even a slice of LC bread (~10g carbs) or a scant 1/4 C of rice (~10g carbs) will make me hungrier than if I had eaten those same 10g as a low-carb veggie. Just keep at it, you will find out what your body needs!
