Lasereth, I'd *highly* recommend going to a diet specialist person (I can't spell the real title, lol). I had a problem like yours always hungry, never full, until I went to Weight Watchers and learned that I need a higher than average amount of protein (lean protein, thanks!) to feel full. No amount of fruit or veggies is going to do that for me (although I still include them in my diet, of course).

Different things work for different people, but through WW I took a food survey that helped me and my WW counselor to come to this conclusion, and boy did it help! I could eat literally 2 lbs. of pasta and not feel satisfied, or eat a chicken breast and finally feel full. I snack on lean meats, legumes (refried beans are low fat!), and protein bars (watch out though, they tend to have a lot of sugars) when I am really hungry.

Good luck!
