When I got sick, I became mentally allergic to fat and sugar. I thus spent monthes eating only raw vegetables. There are so many subtleties in taste and texture you can finally 'see' when they're not coated (or drowned even) in sauces.

The pleasure you get is also different in that it doesn't create much of a crave feeling. And you rarely binge on salad or carrots.. your brain will naturally give up and say enough. When anything is sweetened you see yourself in a never ending loop.

Plus vegetables help digestion.

Anyways, raw is actually finer than it appears.

Agree. Your stomach will tell you that you’re full when it’s volume is expanded to where it thinks it’s full. Could be all water, carrots, or fried chicken for all it cares. The effects on your health though depend on what it actually was.

More than volume there id also a taste factor. Non sweetened produce have nice flavours and less nice ones, after a while something between your tongue and brain says 'no more'

Also don’t typically need salt for them to be palatable.
