| I lost 120lbs and for a long time I was in almost the same situation, but I can say I "fixed this problem". I realized I didn't have a hormonal or even psychiatric issue: I was an addict. Addicted to sugar, fat, salt in extreme quantities. I would always go from a bowl to a box of cereal. So I quit it all. Cold turkey. It could "fit my macros", but I took no sugar, no junk food, no snacks. Only food. Real food. And I realized it's really hard to become fat on rice, chicken and vegetables. You"d need an insane appetite. And, after some time, I slowly regained control. I stopped counting calories, and now I'm happy to say I'm able to eat half a Snickers bar and not crave anything else. And I'm fit! Happy eating, keeping a bit of muscle and a low body fat =) |
This I'd agree with. I'm addicted to food, but unfortunately there's no realistic way to quit food.

You are incorrect, in my experience.
