Just want to eat more. Thinking of removing shredded wheat cereal and pasta out of diet. Way too addicting

Just want to eat more. Thinking of removing shredded wheat cereal and pasta out of diet. Way too addicting I don't usually - but then I also don't eat JUST whole wheat pasta etc. Typically, it's got some veggies, some beans, maybe a tossed salad on the side, etc. And, I don't measure the portion size - I eat, sip water, chat, read a magazine article and if I still want more in 20 minutes or so, I get up and go over to the stove top where the food resides (not on the table so seconds take thought) and get more. Typically, I start with a comfortable serving. If I'm still hungry (as above), I'll take a half of what I previously had. If I'm STILL hungry (rare), it's half of the half and so on, reducing the amount each time by half - though I am not bound to that amount, I will take 1/4 serving for seconds instead of half if that seems about right. Cereals usually have dried fruit or a small handful of nuts added since lettuce and beans don't go as well with it LOL. --Deb R

Post makes the cereal. Don't feel gassy after eating whole grain pasta. I just want to eat more because not satisfied. I will even eat a salad and add veggies to the pasta. For me wheat doesn't fill me up. It just makes me want to eat more.

Also, are you cooking it only to al dente? Cooking time is different on whole grain pasta compared to 'regular' pasta. Overcooking it is not a good idea and might be part of the situation because you lose the texture. --Deb R

But, certainly, if it's not satisfying, try other things. There's no rule about it anywhere. If 100% shredded wheat cereal doesn't float your boat, try oats or spelt or rice... Quinoa pasta is pretty good, we're not fond of rice based pastas at our house. --Deb R
