Has a handy chart.
Potatoes are top of the list and can be used to fuel workouts. My Irish ancestors would be proud.

You would feel just as full, but may not have the calories needed to fuel your exercise or activities. But yes, the best way to lose weight is to drink lots of water to fill your stomach and also eat low calorie density foods like cauliflower or cabbage (coleslaw), etc, where you can really eat alot of it, which is mentally satisfying, but end up eating very little total calories. I wouldnt try to do excessive exercise while doing this tho. Its a tricky thing to implement for somebody with excess weight who wants to simultaneously change this poor diet and begin to exercise excessively. If you really care about weight loss, the exercising is merely a distraction, and the meaningful differences will be through diet.

Agreed, but now weâre back to why do people promote fat in threads about weight loss because itâs âsatiatingâ?

This seems to agree with my thinking

If you look at the two extremes, zero fat or zero carb, neither will optimally curb appetite or optimize performance no matter how many calories you eat. With zero carb you end up with a lot of gluconeogenesis, which isnât super efficient, and requires certain stress hormones which can interfere with hunger signaling, sleep, etc. With zero fat, your body has to break down body fat to make things like sex hormones, etc which is also stressful and causes negative downstream effects if you do it long term. That said, going above 20% fat or above 60% carbs probably doesnât have much benefit when it comes to long term satiety, performance, and health.
My point being, saying âfats increase satietyâ and âcarbs increase satietyâ are both true if you donât have enough of either. The average American already eating a high fat diet certainly doesnât need more fat thoughâŚ
