@grammamo - I had that full feeling often. I would still eat during my normal mealtimes, however I would reduce the quantity by 50% of what I had been eating. Instead of a dinner-size plate, I would use the smaller salad plate. While dining, instead of starting with the French fries, I would begin with a carrot. By the time I reached the unhealthy options, I was full (I now order the steamed veggies, or a side salad instead of fries).
Note- I focus on protein as I want to keep my muscle mass healthy.

*** Started at the minimum 2.5 and moved up once to 5.0.***
