He said that he eats fewer _stereotypically_ high-reward foods because he eats other high-reward foods. How do you interpret that as equivalent to "continually decreasing comfort"?

The pt is that the reward function isn't static, and you can move yourself to an equilibrium with as much utility/comfort that is much healthier.

This has been my experience too. Eg, I'm almost a little grossed out by the proportion of refined carbs on the plates of some of my friends: not only is it unhealthy, it's the most boring part of the meal (to my palate)! And my habituation to sugar has gotten low enough that things taste much sweeter to me than they do to most people.

If anything, this has _increased_ the reward I get from eating, since their unfettered preferences need to be consciously constrained by awareness of their health, while mine line up pretty well.
