Protein mania: the rich world’s new diet obsession
I tried eating a meat-only diet for a few months, and have mostly continued with some veg added. What I&#x27;ve found is that this is the most satiating diet I&#x27;ve ever tried after five decades of trying. I&#x27;ve also done a lot of high fat paleo, so I&#x27;m sure that for me the satiating element is the protein. I&#x27;ve also been a raw vegan and about everything else in between.<p>Protein fills me up and makes me stop eating far faster than the other macro nutrients. So I&#x27;m not worried about getting too much. Unlike with say low quality carbs, high quality proteins are self limiting. My body just tells me no more! If I want to know if I&#x27;m genuinely hungry I just ask myself if I want some meat. If not, I&#x27;m not.<p>IMHO, after a lifetime of mostly failed experimentation, (for those of us who can afford it) putting high quality high protein foods at the center of your diet is the most effective way to control and reverse obesity.
