When you cook proteins, they go through a process called denaturing in which the amino acids are fused together. The body has a hard time breaking this denatured protein down into the usable amino acid chains. Yes, I certainly have.

People just aren't used to eating that much volume so relying on the stomach to tell you when you've had enough (in terms of calories) isn't really accurate.Plus, it also depends upon what food you are eating. I feel full after a large cantaloupe, but this is only about 600 calories. If I ate this for, say, my lunch meal, I would feel full for about an hour but then would find myself hungry again.

There's just no scientific data to back that up. Now, if you are eating less calories from the "good" fats (I'm assuming you mean raw overt fats like avocado, nuts and seeds), then yes, you will shed some pounds. But otherwise, too much fat is too much fat, regardless of the source. I don’t know about eating more good fat to shed bad fat. There’s just no scientific data to back that up.

This is common because once we start eating enough fruit, we can handle a lot more volume than we could before. So when you go back to eating cooked, it takes more than it did before to physically fill up your stomach.
