Default A couple of "Filling Foods" questions

one of the things my leader talks about on a very regular basis, is that
every individual eats for specific reasons, and each person has different
foods they must either limit or only eat when they feel totally in control,
for me bananas arem't a problem i love them and could live on them but when
i eat one i don't get hungry or want more bananas, i can eat a banana and go
three or four hours without eating again.. but give me a bowl of white rice
and the munch is on chococlate never hardly calls my name, DH keeps it in
the house all the time, same for nuts and peanut butter... but i simply
can't have cereal in house or again its on, odd but we must learn not only
why we eat but why we don't eat, and what foods are an issue for us, Lee

one thing which you might not get fromm the site is the way the leaders
teach it... much more supportive of eaither plan but the emphasis when
talking to a point counter is quality of food and examining how you feel
after eating, and when dealing with the filling foods people, emphasis on
portions of the foods and how you feel after eating them, on old
core/flex,
it was more about how much you could eat or what you could get for the
points, and on core all about satisfaction levels, only a nod to
portions...
at least this is what i experienced anyway, so maybe its a different way
of
teaching the same thing... i gravitate towards the foods on that list so
the
fact that i have no satisfied button is not the fault of ww. I wish i did
because it would be lots easier to just know the portions eat and go on,

I understand what you mean about not having a "satisfied" button.

I think very obese people like me eat for lots of other reasons in
addition to being hungry.

By the way, I had a banana just before - my first high glycemic food
in 4 weeks - and it is sort of amazing how I can feel it actually
making me hungry for something else!

I really have to learn what my trigger foods are. Low carb foods are
not triggers. But obviously some higher carb foods are.

Bananas are definitely not "simply filing".
