Vegans, did you find that you stayed full longer and ate less after you became vegan?
I've bееח a vegan fοr a small over a week now, аחԁ I've noticed tһаt I seem tο feel full a lot longer аחԁ I don't feel hungry nearly аѕ οftеח аѕ I ԁіԁ before going vegan. Perhaps intake whole grains helps, bυt I don't know. Hаνе аחу οf tһе οtһеr vegans here experienced tһіѕ?

Whole grains and pulses all help you to feel full.

I don’t know as I’m not a vegan, but I know that when you are on a vegan diet you have to eat LOTS of food to keep in affect or you might lose weight.
But anyway, intake fruits can make you feel full, and so can grains.

Read Kevin Tredeau’s WEIGHT LOSS CURE book. This will tell you exactly why you’re feeling that way, and yes it’s right — reasoning for this is because the food most people eat are full of radiation, pesticides, chlorinations, MSGs, pasteurization, steroid injected meat, artificial flavorings….the list goes on. In certainty, it’s not “food” it’s crap. When you’re really intake “food” your body uses it better and of course then you don’t need to eat.

I have first hand experience with this. I used to have terrible hunger pangs very frequently, even at mid night. But with I started having raw fruits & vegetables. My hunger nearly disappeared. Now, I mostly eat for the go of food, I hardly feel hungry. Some time I skip a meal when all’s said and done (something unthinkable before). My energy level has also gone up like anything.
But I am having this problem with toothache (please see my question & see if you can provide any feedback).

Yes, I am sure it the fibre content of the food. Fibre helps you feel full quicker and longer. It is also low cal and helps food out of the colon quicker. Vegans are healthy eaters. If you are getting quality nutriants your body is not craving food . Hunger is your body’s way of telltale you it needs food for energy, high nutrient food=not so hungry.

It just means you were not intake correctly before you went vegetarian.
Vegetarianism is not some sort of magical cure for everything that hurts you even with what a few of the other answers in this question have stated.
Overall, a vegetarian diet is a small more conducive to excellent health because there isn’t as much junk food. But, that does not mean it’s inherently healthier. I’ve met healthy vegetarians and i’ve met really unhealthy ones, just like with any meat eater.
An omnivore who eats well will be just as healthy as the healthiest vegetarian.

I ate a vegan once, she wasn’t v. filling but she upset my stomach and didn’t go well w. Chianti.
I wouldn’t go to the toilet at work anymore unless you want everyone to know, it becomes rather obvious.

I hit the weights pretty hard so I’m always starving, even with I switched to veganism.

I reckon I eat more now than I use to, to get full and stay full I have to eat a large part.

It’s doubtless because of a conscious effort to make sure you’re getting a sufficient amount of whole foods. I tend to stay full because I eat about four servings of crunchy vegetables, 1/4 cup of grain, 1/4 cup of pulses, and 1/4 cup of nuts at my meals. Switching from vegetarian to vegan usually means you’re intake more whole food, and less junk. Therefore you end up feeling more nourished if you’re doing it right.
You’re doubtless drinking more water along with meals now too aren’t you? That can make a huge difference. Water aids the cells in absorbing nutrients. If you were drinking soft drinks before you doubtless weren’t getting the full benefits from your food.

You’re exactly right: fruits, veggies, grains and plant-based proteins like beans fill you up more than meat and dairy products, and you typically don’t need to eat as much of them to feel full. Plant-based matter will absorb liquid and expand in your stomach, charitable you the full feeling. Plus, as an added bonus, you are eliminating all the cholesterol from animal-based foods and significantly lowering your stout intake, especially saturated fats. So not only are you intake less, you’re making your heart healthier, too!
It’s not right, as someone suggested, that you need to be super-careful about getting underweight. I’ve never had a problem with losing too much weight. As a matter of fact, I could doubtless stand to lose a bit more!
But as long as you’re getting a well-balanced diet, which is vital whether you’re vegetarian, vegan, OR omni, you must be fine.

Yes.
Wow. Simplest answer ever.
