i find that carbs make me feel full. but since carbs arent very heatlhy, if you are going to eat them make sure its whole grain. or even better, eat something like spelt pasta, quinoa, chick peas, or bulghur wheat instead of white bread/pasta, potatoes and rice, as the latter raise your bloodsugar level, which leads to a release of insulin which leads to weight gain. this information is based on the GI diet, which i heartily recommend to you if you want to eat helathy and feel satisfied. it is actually not necessary to eat to the point where you feel full, as in uncomfortably full, as that means you have been overeating. just a state where you arent hunrgy, but comfortable is ideal. also, if you eat many smaller meals during the day it will keep you feeling comfortable.
