I agree with Ltldogg! It is a precise and exact answer to exactly the questions you are asking us here.
I will add a couple of thoughts, on ideas that are kinda beneath the surface of your post.
First, I wonder if you'd really be willing to reconsider what food is (and isn't), and relearn your ideas about what kinds of foods are desireable.
I mean, we are encouraged to eat processed foods and hyperpalatable foods, and this seems to be a large part of the reason why Americans -- vegan and omnivores alike -- struggle with heart disease, joint problems, mobility issues, etc.
So, people looking to try out this way of eating, will sometimes pick up some ezekiel bread, and some no-oil hummus, which is definitely many steps in the right direction, but is still much more processed than, you know, brown rice and chickpeas. The more processed the food is (and flour is highly processed) and -- hummus too is quite processed because it''s all blended up and neither your mouth has to do anything to digest it (no chewing required!) nor does your stomach have to do much to break it down (all that surface area, because it''s been blended so finely) and so -- the same fooods in their more processed forms, will be less filling and you'll wind up consuming more.
If you are open to the idea, I'd love to encourage you to see your foods not only through the lens of whether it's plant-based, but also through the lens of whether you're eating "food as grown".
Also, don't miss the part of MWL where it is encouraged (if I remember correctly) to eat some raw foods and some cooked foods in each day. Raw foods, almost always, require more chewing and more time in the stomach, before going into the blood stream. Meaning they're very filling!
Maybe it's worth playing around with? See what you can do with that!
PS -- Since you posted in the MWL forum, i should say that my angle on food is just one way -- but not the only way! -- of going about MWL! I do not know what ideas feel right to you, but you DO, so please honor that.
