Another thing I thought of in regard to your getting hungry and not feeling satisfied on fruit was page 252 of The 80/10/10 Diet:

"Eventually, it is best to free yourself from the deisre to experience a heavy feeling after a meal, as this is an indicator that the digestive system is being overworked. In order to feel satisfied, it is best to eat large amounts of sweet fruit, which may pass through your stomach quickly, but will satisfy true hunger for hours. . . . True hunger is a sensation that occurs primarily deep in the low throat, much like the feeling of thirst, but a bit lower, about where the concave "notch" appears between the collar bones, at the bottom of the neck. The sensation might be described as resembling a dull ache. The stomach sensation we commonly associate with hunger is often the result of its muscular walls shrinking after completing the digestive task of the last meal. If a perceived feeling of hunger is accompanied by feelings of faintness, stomach pangs, headaches, or other discomforts, it is actually a sign of withdrawal from harmful substances. A healthy person can skip a meal or two with no feelings of weakness or distress. When one is healthy, true hunger signifies no urgency for food, since the body knows it has reserves for its use in time of need. You should be at all times comfortable in your body."
