Why am I getting full faster?

[MusicalRawLady]

My family is sitting down eating swordfish, scallops, shrimp, salmon, potatoes, steak, asparagus and salad. I had one bowl of salad with a vinegrette dressing that I made...and I had to leave the table because I was full.

How is this possible? It's only my 4th day of being raw.

Ps. My stomach is usually and endless pit!

Raw food contains more water and fiber than SAD food, so you might feel full faster. However it digests faster too meaning that you'll be hungrier sooner :D

I love feeling full but not overstuffed like I felt eating cooked!

I notice that when I eat raw I am much more satisfied. I think it has to do with the higher nutritional content of the food. When I eat cooked I feel like a bottomless pit and I can never get enough even if i'm hurting i'm so full. My body is constantly trying to find those missing nutrients.

Gosh, I wish I had your problem. I'm like a bottomless pit! I can have a really dense meal and one hour later - hungry again. :rolleyes:
