"It is extremely easy to overeat (processed) foods made with starch, fats, sugars and salt"
(Quoted from Cordains  "The Paleo Diet)

 I  tend to overeat  only food-COMBINATIONS of starch, fats, sugars and salt,
like pork rind (fat+salt),  potato chips (starch+salt), cake  (starch+sugar(+fat)), salted roasted nuts
(fat+salt) , pizza (fat + starch+salt) , chocolate (sugar+fat), ice-cream (fat+sugar), cheese (salt+fat)

In fact  snacks  and desserts basicly  are designed  to  bypass  the normal satiety signals.
Even when homemade (out of paleingredients) such foods are arteficial inventions  -
to which we are  not adapted. 

If  I eat starchy, fatty or sweet  foods  alone, I  get a very clear  feeling of when I am sated  
(weel before I feel stuffed).  Examples:   boiled starchy vegetables,  olive oil  , (unsalted) butter
raw nuts and almonds, sweet fresh or dried fruit,  honey (honeycomb).
