Precisely.  BTW before my celiac disease became overt, no matter how much  
pasta I
ate I was still hungry, but that's a different subject, actually.

There's a great book on the subject of addictive foods:
The End of Overeating, by David Kessler.
Lots of interesting studies, and chapter and verse about how food
manufacturers and chain restaurants amp up the sugar, salt, fat,
flavors and textures of food to make them as irresistible as possible.
I think you don't have to look any further than that for the causes
of American obesity.

Yup.  I lost 45 lbs last year by writing out a list of 10 addictive foods
and just NOT EATING THEM.  Fortunately, if you stay completely away
 from them for a few weeks, they will lose their hold on you.
