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?

>>true2o+(OP)
the problem is, obese or formerly obese people clan eat a lot of anything before the full feeling sets in, no matter what. Eggs, chicken..does not matter.

Particularly eating a lot of eggs daily for about 3 years

It takes time and discipline to make the stomach smaller

I was pre-diabetic at 100kg and went down to 70kg over a year of low carb diet and intermittent fasting

It’s a daily struggle trying to NOT eat until literally feeling pain in the belly, and even then, I know if I wait 30 minutes more I can keep eating

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.

Yes, but this is sort of the point. If we can make it not a daily struggle, probably a lot more people would be successful.

Generally, I think the solution of "just suffer" is a bad one. If people's solution requires a certain amount of pain, it's probably just a suboptimal solution, and we can do better.
