Did you have an alternative to eat after the first serving? Like, some vegetables or fruit? Maybe a switch from pasta-2 to an apple would be easier than from pasta-2 to nothing.
Try a precommitment like “after eating pasta, I will eat an apple… and maybe a second serving of pasta afterwards, if I will still feel like it”.
(This requires buying a lot of apples in advance.)
Thanks for the suggestion. With apples I’m left hungrier than before, so I’ll try with vegetables. Strategically, the underlying principle would be: interrupt the behaviour with an equivalent one, motion for motion, but that ‘lands’ on a better alternative.
Actually, I’d recommend some sort of fat for satiety. Though this is an area where YMM really V so you probably should run some self-experiments and figure out whether carbs (and what kind of carbs) make you satiated or more hungry.
I already know that simple carbs make me hungrier, although it took me a long time to figure out. Fat doesn’t seem to have notable effects on satiety level, while complex carb do the trick. Of course, complex carbs are the trick. I should possibly have to experiment with other kinds of fats.
