If additional servings of meat are readily available, you might suddenly find that "all you want" actually more closely corresponds to "all that is there". I've eaten leftover meat from a company BBQ like it's potato chips! Put ten "nice marbled chuck steaks" in front of me and they are gone.

The thing is, I was very lean at that time from a regime of diet and endurance exercise. For someone who is obese and eats uncontrollably due to the abundance of easily prepared carby snacks, it is easy to see how switching to satisfying food that contains protein, requires preparation, and is more of an actual meal, is helpful.
