I feel that it is different, yes! If you are used to a type of fullness, then the other fullness does not feel the same. I feel starches as heavier in the stomach.
I was constipated only once, when starting Peat and eating more cheese and less veggies! And less fat.
With veggies and fat, I think it helps a lot. Fats really makes a difference.
I agree with salt, I have to think about it when I eat bananas for example.
This "fullness" feeling is something I have been contemplating for a while. Even with a non-Peat style diet, I had trouble feeling full or the fullness feeling used to come a few hours later. When we sat for a meal, I usually ate more than my husband. And just to let you know my husband has a big appetite, is overweight, and as far as I see does not have low metabolism. Well, this is not just with my husband. I usually eat more than other people eat at meals. My mom says I used to ask "what does being full mean" when I was a kid. I guess even as a child I guess I had an issue with that. I am not sure what that is, maybe a slow digestion issue? Any idea?
