Oh, OK. So depending on your height, that sounds fine.

So you're still eating plenty, but the point is that you no longer have any desire to over-eat?

And so at a restaurant you still order and eat, but the food just doesn't mean "enjoyment" the way it used to?

That makes a lot more sense then. If food becomes more about removing a negative feeling of discomfort, than a positive feeling of deliciousness, right then overeating would never make any sense.

Thanks!






Good food still tastes good. You're just less hungry.

Yeah, I am 6’2 and broad chested etc - I am consistently losing like 2 pounds a week, give or take. If I am less active like due to illness, that slows down. I think any faster than that, and I’d be worried about crashing back to my old weight or other side effects.

I went out to eat today, and enjoyed my food. I didn’t order a big burger, but a smaller sandwich. I had a bite of an appetizer, but not more than a bite. Still super enjoyable, but it might be even better now because I don’t feel like a fat pig afterwards due to reasonable portion size.

I am food motivated like a dog, for whatever that’s worth.
