I eat to satiety, and I've developed a very good "full" signal compared to way back when I was eating a boatload of carbs. That "full" signal disappeared when carbs were a prominent portion of my food. Now when I get it, I can't eat another bite, and that's a good thing! The remaining food becomes leftovers.

Although since going low carb so many years ago I no longer suffer from the ravenous hunger that used to plague me I still don't get that "I couldn't eat another bite" feeling. I do wonder why that is but i seem to have adjusted and I work with what I have. I know when to stop and I am no longer ravenously hungry like I once was. I can live with that. I have no doubt that if i started eating high carbs again I would again be ravenously hungry. That helps keep me on the straight and narrow. |
