I also find this to be true, although the addictive foods may be paleo
as well, in my case.  For example, I seem to be able to eat very large
amounts of fatty protein sources without hitting satiety.  Broiled
chicken wings, fatty pot roast, etc.  I can eat lots of this stuff, and
if I do, of course I gain weight.  I reach satiety much sooner with
leaner protein sources.  Some fruits, but not others, also have this
addictive quality.  Grapes are hard to control, but I can have a single
slice of watermelon and be done with it.  I never want a second banana
or a second yam, but I can eat quite a lot of butternut squash.

Very strange.
