I am the very same, Wally. I went for the last 30 of my 52 years NEVER
feeling satiated. I didn't know what that feeling was like. And then I did
a low, not very low, carb diet and I find myself thinking, "ok, I really
don't want any more helpings". It is not that I don't want more helpings
because it would be bad for me. I don't WANT more. I never had that
before.
