We have both found changes in our appetite and how much food it takes to fill us up. We both eat noticeably less food for a meal. We can't hold as much and it is often longer before we are hungry again.
Ever since reading "Blue Zones Kitchens" by Dan Buettner and "Quench" by Dana Cohen, MD and Gina Bria, we have been more enthusiastic about eating the same food again and again and in eating fruits and vegetables with good water content. "Quench" makes a big point of emphasizing that vegetables and fruits with good water content are better at hydrating a human body than simply drinking liquid water. Nevertheless, I have definitely increased my water intake. My nurse practitioner advised 50 oz. of water a day. Like old people, she judged me drinking too little.
