Me. 
There's obviously some miswiring going on in my case. I have what I call a slow satiety reflex. It takes me 20 min or to feel when I've had enough. By the time I feel full it's too late.
And I also have a compulsion other times to eat until I'm physically sick.
So I need the guidepost of calorie counting.

Exactly. When I finally think I feel full, and when I've reached the max capacity of calories to maintain weight, are 2 different things. By the time I feel full, I've already eaten too much. 4 years of data verifies this. I've tried eating "ad libitium" and all I ever do is gain weight. 
I have a naughty brain. |
