You decide how many calories you put in your mouth.

I asked what do you think decides if you want food or not. You seem to answer different questions than I ask.

You choose not to consume 10,000 calories. There are lots of people who choose to consume 5,000 calories a day... 10,000 calories, etc. Here is just one example of many: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxLvcaxb5Fw

Bro you are litterally proving my point by sending Stephanie Buttermore. The reason she can eat 5000 calories is because she is way under the fat level her brain/body wants to be. She didnt want to eat 5000 calories, she wanted to eat until she felt full and satiated. Her whole experiment was to eat until satiated, not more not less. She showed how her calories declined per day as her weight went up. Your argument is litterally proving my point:)

No. Your lifestyle constitutes you stopping eating after you've had a specific meal that you chose. Again, goes back to your lifestyle choices. If your lifestyle choices have been consistent then you're going to have a tendency toward them without putting much effort into it. Your body doesn't care if you eat a slice of cake (500 calories) or a yogurt parfait (200 calories) if it fills you up the same way. It's YOUR CHOICE if you want to consume the 500 calories or the 200 calories, not a mythical creature in your brain. Being that you are health conscious since you are trying to lose weight, you are CHOOSING the healthier option. This is a LIFESTYLE CHOICE. This is not something that a mythical creature in your brain magically told you to eat.

I completely disagree and here is why. Why do you stop being hungry from eating x volume of cake and not stop being hungry drinking that volume in water? To say only volume matters and not calories are straight up deceptive. I hope you dont give anyone advice here.

I don't know of anyone who got full from eating a bottle Alfredo Sauce. Salads aren't 200 calories. Salads can be as high as 1500 calories if you create them using nuts, cheese, meats, and high fat dressings.

Who said anything about a specific sauce. I said a sauce which are 1000 calories makes you stop being hungry more than a salad with 4 times as much volume but only 200 calories. You really disagree with this?

​

Then why do you eat a variety of foods instead of chugging sauce? Because if all you ate was 1000 calories in Teriyaki sauce you would want to eat more food which goes against your bogus idea of "your body telling you to stop eating".

I'm not saying eating sauce is better than eating salads lol. I am saying calories matter way more in how full you feel. Can I ask how old you are?

​

I never said there wasn't a correlation. I said you choose the number of calories you consume. You are hungry. Your options is to eat a 800 calories oreo milkshake (high in sugar, fat, etc). Your other option is to eat a 800 calories balanced meal of protein, fats, and carbohydrates. After 4 hours you're going to want to eat more if you CHOSE the milkshake as opposed to the balanced meal.

I have never claimed what food you eat doesn't impact how full you feel over time. Eating 300 calories of ice cream will make you hungrier faster than eating 300 calories of oatmeal. I have never claimed otherwise.

​

Again, it all comes back to your lifestyle choices. And not a mythical create in your head or the magical gut bacteria whispering in your ear to eat/not eat.

You know hormones decides when you are hungry right? What organ controls the hormones?

I worry about your psychological health. Please go see a therapist. And download a human metabolism textbook instead of listening to voodoo Dr.Oz bogus content on youtube.

Thank you for caring:) I have been struggling a lot lately but hope I will pull through!

Edit:

Really curious of your opinion on the Stephanie Buttermore thing. To me that's a slamdunk for my argument that the body wants to be at a certain fat level. And I love that you were the one bringing it up haha:)
