Take out the "vege" and I'd agree with you. I get fat and lethargic on a predominantly vegetarian diet. My experience is that the appetite is only out of control when eating a diet that is not well matched to the physiology. On my paleo diet, I naturally eat only what I need, and my weight is always within one pound of 178, at somewhere around 13-15 percent body fat. > I have a vegan friend, and a fat one at that! He loves potato > chips, Lays...full of fat! But hey, they're vegan right!? Ah yes, the siren call of the salty fat that crunches food group. It's got a lethal combo of delicious taste, addictive saltiness and mouth feel, carbs to override the brain's satiety signals, and a huge caloric load of fat. I used to eat lots of Kettle Chips. Everybody's Whole Foods has almost an entire side of one aisle devoted to chips. > But that still does not explain the lack of self control; with > proper discipline even appetite can be mastered, especially in > conjunction with meditation, IMO. Or, you can do less and accomplish more by simply eating a diet that is naturally and effortlessly non-hypercaloric.
