I think that many people discover a particular diet that works for them psychologically and expect that to be the case for everyone.

I do wish that more people understood the basic research on satiety, though. I suspect more diets would be successful if people were eating ~2g of lean protein per kg of goal weight along with a lot (I'm not sure if people have studied amounts here) of dietary fiber.

This is exactly what helped me get my weight down: Lots of protein (whey / casein powder is pretty cheap nowadays if you search online; the exact formula is irrelevant unless you are doing top-tier bodybuilding; I'd suggest casein since it digests more slowly so it keeps you "full" for a longer time, and for me this seems to work) and lots of dietary fibers (wheat bran; drink a lot of water and eat it piece by piece over time; getting a lump of this stuck in your throat really sucks...)

Other than that your comment seems to contradict itself, I'd fully agree.

I'm not sure what you mean by this. Could you elaborate?

I meant that you stated,

and then did just that for a high-protein, high-fiber diet. OTOH, that worked for me too, so it is certainly something to try.

Re-reading your comment though, I realized that I probably misunderstood it and that you were referring to independent research that came to the same conclusion.

I see. That makes sense.

Yeah - I probably didn't word that the best.
