i do need to come up with some sort of talking points as to what my book is about without scaring away n00bs.

Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I think that proteins switch on the "I'm full" feeling. Carbs make you feel full fleetingly but proteins keep you going.
I'm a weirdo then. I've had plenty of protein. Still HUNGRY.
I thought fat was the thing that kept you feeling full longer, but while I haven't been avoiding fat, really it's hard to up one's fat intake when one is cutting out sugar and irrelevant carbs.
This was me when I did the low-carb thing a couple of years ago. Eating nothing but salad and protein, I felt hungry all the time.
Glad it's not just me.

Oh, good, sumi. I was watching the hockey game that bumped it, and I was all, okay I'm enjoying the hockey, but I really wanted to see the Barbaro special, too.
Who are you cheering for in this Derby?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Fat switches on my "I'm full" feeling enough that I'll have a dab of mayonnaise (well, I would--gives me headaches now) if I knew I wasn't going to eat for a while.
I went for lunch and had a garden salad and then a coffee latte afterwards.
That's so not me that I'm feeling very dizzy.
I wasn't hungry enough to finish the whole salad either.
