I am hungry all the time on McDougall's diet.

I jumped into an idea of loosing weight, eating all the food I wanted (except fat and animal proteins of course) and feel better physically.
I started 2 weeks ago. I thought I did not like to cook, but now I cook so many different kinds of beans, buckwheat, potatoes, rise, pasta that I can hardly find room in my fridge. I also eat salads with raw veggies, and oatmeal with rice drink, some nuts (not much because of fat in it) and bananas. I believe I apply all the rules that are suggested for this diet.
But the problem is that I am constantly hungry. I have to eat approx. every 3 hours so the amount of food that I cook does not last long. I eat bigger portions to fill my stomach and more often than before I started this diet. I also crave for meat and dream about nice juicy rotisserie chicken or some turkey ham.
I lost approx. 2 pounds, not much, but considering such a amount of food that I devour I would expect to gain lots of weight on normal diet.
I wonder whether this is normal that I am hungry all the time and that i eat so much?
I welcome any suggestions.
