Your comments while I agree with the correctness are incredibly disheartening and demotivating.

Not as disheartening or demotivating as dieting with a target body shape in mind, achieving it, rejoicing, and being right back where you were before the diet 6 months later.

Source: it me.

Sure. It’s me as well but after 2-3 years.
When you start eating less, you’re body adapts after consistent dosage, and you will no longer feel as hungry. The OP is wrong, as in the long term you’re quality of life that can be derived from food is no different.

Yes, perhaps in the short term you will experience cravings/withdrawal, but this is temporary.

I heard this perspective once.

People struggle getting of cigarettes multiple times even after a year long break. So sure you fail at weightless, but you can try again.

The only issue I have with the view is that losing and gaining weight over and over again can place a toll on your body.

sorry. it's meant to be motivating.

it's telling you in compressed form what you need to do to be successful
