Hi Dwu,
Thanks for the reply and for the interesting links to Jeff's work! much appreciated!
I have tried the veggie/fiber route, but like Dr McDougall says, my 'hunger' drive is not satiated, while I feel physically full because my stomach is full of fiber, I still crave starch and in particular oats. Today for instance I gave in and made oatmeal from 500g of dry oats and had that in one sitting... that's what it takes to feel satisfied... Even though I am not fat, this food pattern doesn't make sense to me... But thanks a million for all the suggestions & info though. I'm learning every day on this board! x Ellis
