    That is a real addiction, when not hungry, still craving the taste & texture & sensation & dopamine hit of food. I identified that addiction in my twenties, so with nutritional education & tons of discipline/redirection/substituting the dopamine craving with exercise endorphins, conquered the food addiction.

        Maybe you can. But I noticed unnecessary delicious foods had only negative long-term consequences so I learned to cut them out entirely, and find enjoyment in other ways that only have positive side-effects.
