It's how the body works.



As someone who recently lost 35#, this is true, but quality (healthy food) helps in two big ways:

if you only eat tons of simple carbs, your body doesn't get what it needs, so you remain hungry-- even 4000 calories later

some foods just fill you up better. I can eat 1500 calories of a milkshake and still be able to eat another 1500 calories of a burger+fries (I still do that once a week *sigh* used to do it daily). The bun, fries, and milkshake, none of them are all that filling yet they're terribly calorific.
but half a pound of green beans and a couple eggs will have me painfully full for about 400 calories.


there was a fellow who lost weight on a diet of mostly twinkies, vitamin supplements, and strict calorie counting; but I'm sure he was hungrier on his twinkies than I was on my meat and green veggies.
