Being overweight is a chronic disease.

Just like alcoholism, or any kind of other addictions.

I've struggled with alcohol abuse, and once you come to the realization that you're abusing it, the fix FOR ME was relatively simple: I stopped (under medical supervision) drinking, or to be more precise: I stopped starting to drink. I have no problems not drinking, I have a problem that when I start I cannot stop.

I have the same issue with food. Not eating is a lot easier than stopping to eat. But I cannot completely stop eating.

Yet with alcohol people are like: hey, good for you.

With my weight issues people are like: dude, just eat less, or exercise more.

(I stopped sharing the food story with people).

What works for me is to eat highly nutritious low-glycemic food until I feel full (eggs, avocado, quinoa, etc)

Otherwise I over eat crap and gain weight easily

How many years have you been able to keep that diet up?

>>skrebb+y7
Particularly eating a lot of eggs daily for about 3 years

The Time Magazine cover story in 1984 where they falsely claimed that consuming cholesterol from eggs and other sources was dangerous was a real turning point. That misunderstanding has caused tremendous harm to public health for decades. I think the journalists acted in good faith but they believed junk science.
