No white flour?

People will disagree with me, but process carbs and foods makes me crave more food. Unprocessed foods cut the cravings.
I won't disagree with this because I have the same problem. But not everyone does have this issue and those who don't will look at you like you're mad. And some people have different trigger foods. Though it's true I've yet to talk to anyone who complains carrots make her ravenous for the rest of the day!
If everyone looked carefully at their diet and took out of daily use all the foods that make them hungrier after they eat them rather than less hungry (whatever those foods may be) it would probably be easier for most of us to lose or maintain.
That said, as I get closer and closer to goal weight, I find my cravings have simply morphed. I won't feed my body cheesecake, but it wants sugar and it wants calories, so now the molasses I bought for baking is getting downed by the spoonful. My fault for bringing it into the house. I thought it would be fine because I never got into it when I was a kid, but now I remember why. The syrup makes the lid stick and I didn't used to be strong enough to open it! I also have a scary capacity for trail mix. In a matter of hours I can eat thousands and thousands of calories of homemade, chocolate-free trail mix.0 -

This is probably true for some but not for all. For me it is. That said it does not change the underlying mechanism, it's still a matter of energy in vs energy out...0 -

So do you think the science behind it (for some) is that it is a trigger food? Not eating white flour would cause a calorie deficit because it would prevent some people from eating more?0
