I am sure some instinctos would rush to say that you made a "bad"
combination: avo+fruit should be avoided, eat only vegetables with
avos, etc... On the other hand, that combination is well digested
by others.

Did you stop when you started feeling your stomach? Avos are very feeling
and heavy to digest. Myself, I have at several occasions felt like
a knot in my upper stomach when I stopped too late. It is very difficult
to eat "until satisfied", or "until not hungry anymore", instead of
"until full". The best would be to stop soon enough, so that we could
run just after the meal.

I no longer feel or hear anything when "hungry". When I need to eat,
I only feel weaker (I don't make unnecessary movements, I am unwilling
to run or to walk fast, etc).

BTW, I haven't eaten an avo for weeks now (they are expensive: $1.60-$1.80
ea).

Best wishes,
