As an example of what I deal with: I am almost never, ever satiated. I am always hungry. I can eat a meal full of fats, proteins, and low carb and I will be hungry again in less than 30 minutes. I don't have the satiation signals others do. In any event, it took close to ten years to diagnose, but it turns out I have a serious autoimmune disorder. I'll never be normal, but life is better now that I'm finally under treatment.

In addition to treatment, I can only control weight by setting strict time limits on when I eat. I don't eat after 8 or before 2 pm, although I drink bone broth in the morning. I have also trained myself to live with hunger on this schedule. Since I am always hungry, it just meant learning to live through it rather than satisfy it. It's not wonderful to be hungry, but I view it as something I have to deal with as part of my overall health.

I had an interesting experience a few years back where I was put on a medication that made my satiation "normal." OMG. It was so, so easy to not overeat. I could not believe how easy it was. It made me realize just how different my body is from all those sanctimonious, fat-shaming asshats. They are so freaking lazy (and lucky) and have no idea.

NP. Actually, leptin levels do vary. It’s a thing.

I don't know why you think this. There is so much variation in the human body.

You won’t stop overeating until you find true hunger. Humans are born with the perfect ability to regulate weight: babies eat when they‘re hungry and stop when they‘re full. Dieting makes you obsess over food, so the best thing you can do to permanently lose weight is wait until you are hungry (really, truly stomach-growling empty), eat EXACTLY what you’re craving (not the healthy substitute) and stop as soon as you’re no longer hungry. Then wait for the next complete-emptiness and repeat. Do it again and again and again, and you will lose weight very fast and relearn how to eat totally normal food.

Bodies are very different. I don't see how this is close to delusional. Personally I sense the person claiming it's delusional is just resentful.

So before the 1970s (when most Americans were thin), did Americans feel full faster? Do Europeans now feel full faster? Because as a thin person it’s incredibly easy to spot the habits that make me thin and others fat. Of course there are exceptions, but most Americans eat too large of portions, snack, don’t exercise enough and eat too many processed foods.
