Agree with you there. And perhaps the reason he is hungry is because he
isn't eating fat with his meals.

Although I managed to lose 30 pounds by eating low calories and little to no
fat, I was miserable. Hungry all the time! Since then I have seen many
dieticians and all but the last two told me that I *must* add fat to my
diet. By the time I saw the last two, I was eating fat.

But prior to that my diet was mostly raw vegetables, cooked beans, rice,
pasta, air popped popcorn, egg whites, tiny portions of low fat cheese, a
little fruit. Once in a while I would allow myself a more normal meal like
a waffle or nachos in a restaurant but on a day to day basis there was not
much fat save for the small amount of natural fat in things like corn.
That's just not the way to go.
