natural fats are generally healthy and keeps you satisfied for longer and in a less crashy way as opposed to sugars/carbohydrates in general

I feel like I experience a reduced need to eat and snack when my food includes natural fats, especially when in combination with protein. To put it very simply, I’m persuaded the more healthy fats, the better, they should not be limited or demonized in the way that they have been maligned when sugar was the greater evil all along

    My conjecture is you don’t need to cut out fats, you should consider or try minimizing carbs and sugar and consequently try eating what you want provided you use

    • small plates and serving containers so you are conscious of seconds and also not trying to finish an unnecessarily larger plate or bowl that encourages overconsumption
    • replace with fats and proteins in that order to keep you full and energized
    • stay on the borders of the grocery store in general because thats where the boring healthy stuff is

      Oh yeah, I’m aware of all those points and practice them regularly, but thanks for mentioning them! I was speaking of past experiences (like a year ago). I try to stay away from extreme dieting stuff, although I just started 5:2 “dirty” fasting just as a mental challenge (bonus points if I lose some weight), so we’ll see how that goes.
