I have the opposite experience. Eating high carb / junk food triggers cravings and overeating. Eating protein, greens, etc... Makes eating the correct amount of calories much easier, as I actually feel full. That said, my sister has the same experience as you. She can lose weight eating Pizza, as long as it's the correct amount of Pizza.
