I didn't read the book, but I think alot of people just experience cravings and not real hunger- and I think most people actually know and can feel when they are full, but cravings are another story to deal with.
I follow some of these guidelines, though I rely on thin liquids as well (tea, broth, etc).
Hunger seems to have two components for me: one that requires volume and one that requires satiety. I will often take a two-prong attack -- start with a large serving of a low calorie, high volume food (salad, sauteed veggies, thin soup, even tea) and finish with a very small amount of high calorie, high-satiety food (nuts, PB, cheese).
Dinner last night was a perfect example -- a large bowl of home made turkey broth soup with lots of veggies followed by a tablespoon of peanut butter. (My dinner is my small meal; breakfast is my largest.)
BTW, I do sometimes puree the soup to make it into a thick liquid, but sometimes that doesn't look too appetizing.
