The brain has a ‘low-power mode’ that blunts our senses

There actually is a fix for your particular issue (and indeed this would help many people).

You just need to eat nutritiously dense, high fiber foods that have low caloric density to fill you up.

So a diet heavy in vegetables and whole foods would keep you full without keeping you at a heavier weight.

This would allow you to maintain a caloric deficit to get to your goal weight without going hungry, and once you get to your goal weight you can just reintroduce other foods that are more calorically dense if you'd like.

There's a subreddit filled with examples of this kinda thing: https://www.reddit.com/r/Volumeeating/

Thanks man. I did notice that when I moved to Japan for a few years, I lost a pretty decent amount of weight just from the different habits

I'll check that out for sure.. right now I'm in the honeymoon phase of dieting, where I can lose weight by just switching from sugary soda to sparkling water and staying away from American restaurants
