Naturally, if I recommend a diet, I have to try it out on myself. It wouldn't be very fair to do otherwise. I bought some fish, nuts and avocados, and kept to diet for about two weeks. During that time I can honestly say that I had little desire to eat very much. I wasn't sure if this was caused by leptin balance, or simply because I told myself I wouldn't want to eat. During beginning phase of a diet, it's always easy to convince myself that it's working.

Then I had company, and I used it as an excuse to head down to Cuban restaurant I'd been hearing so much about. It was a treat, and I found more excuses for more treats while my company was in town. For a few days, diet was forgotten. In just that short time, I became aware of a remarkable difference in way I felt about food.

Almost immediately after going off Rosedale diet, I felt compelled to eat everything in sight. It took willpower and commitment to not give into this compulsion.

But I was not hungry! I was no more hungry after I went off diet than I had been while following program. What seemed to be missing was "not hungry" signals that tell brain to quit eating.

"Hungry" is a feeling that middle-class Americans rarely (if ever) experience. Yet we eat, and eat, and eat. We blame it on cravings, emotions, nerves, and habits. But perhaps Dr. Rosedale is right. We may be missing "not hungry" signals that are needed to turn off our hunt for food.
