When did I suggest drinking milk rather than eating a leafy green? It was an example of how low-fat was pushed for years while disregarding our need for fat to properly absorb nutrients that supposedly make milk "healthy".

In the context of the OP's situation - eating way too much food in order to feel satisfied - the suggestion of adding more fat to the diet is solid. Add some olive oil, full-fat dressing, and/or avocado to a salad. Bam. Better chance of feeling satisfied without the need to binge. It's not that difficult.

There is plenty of evidence out there that carb heavy diets (the “low fat” stuff we were all trained to lean on for “health”) have the opposite of the intended effect. Leaning heavily on fruit and veg is a no-no, too - you’ll never feel satisfied. Fat is what tricks the brain into thinking we’re satisfied due to the hormones that are released. Not deep-fried fat, but fat found naturally in foods.

I’m sure the intent isn’t to gorge on bacon all day while drinking heavy cream by the pint. But focusing on the combination of protein, fiber and healthy fat is the key. Fat should not be avoided entirely - in fact, it’s the fat in milk that helps us absorb calcium, so skim milk and fat-free yogurt are basically garbage, but they were touted for decades as the way to go.
