Fish is high on my personal satiety index, because I didn't eat much of it growing up so never developed a taste. Result is that when served fish I eat a little to be nice but don't enjoy it at all. That'd certainly help me eat less.

Oddly, I love calamari and sushi.

Of course, eating food you don't like so you end up eating less doesn't sound like the way to go through life!

IIRC a study made it on here once (a couple years ago, maybe?) that boiled down to "we're fat because modern, affordable, low-or-zero-prep food tastes too good and is too varied"

One of my not-well-backed suspicions is that this is closest to the truth of any of the various attempts to explain this.

It's fine if you substitute it with something that is equally or more pleasurable. There's no rule that you have to get part of your life satisfaction from food
