When I became vegetarian I was 'hungry'.l in the way you describe for about 1-2 weeks, after that the issue disappeared and a plate of beans is very satisfying and keeps my stomach happy for a long period.
I would guess this is a lot about habituation/expectations and less about whether the food is meat/milk product/soy/grains. Therefore also some caution about the study: eating an unfamiliar food a few times might leave a very different effect than something the body is used to.
- clairity 6y agothat matches my experience as well. whenever i've actively changed my diet (to small meals or low-carb, not necessarily vegetarian), it takes ~10 days for the body to re-habituate and settle on the new norm.
- watwut 6y agoWhat is long period? Because plate of beans keep me full longer then non-beans vegetarian food. But meat based plate keeps me full even longer. I don't think beans are unfamiliar for most people. We do eat them regularly. But, they don't make us as full as meat.
