Yep, it's work, but you find out all *kinds* of things about what you thought your diet was and what it actually is. Well, unless all you eat is frozen pizza and bacon, I guess.
Food tracking is undervalued.

The thing it taught me...
...was that I was a big fat hairy liar who lies all the time to themselves about what they eat. I’m convinced that one of the reasons the English-speaking West is turning into such a sea of lard is that we’ve successfully sold ourselves the idea we’re eating far less than we actually do. |

Same
Or at least, huh, I guess eating a big handful of chocolate covered almonds/half a bag of chips/giant bowl of ice cream/etc. every day without exercising isn't doing me a lot of good. I found that I get hungrier than I need to be and now there's a limiter on it. Regards, -scott Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson. |

Crunchy carbs and bread get me - they don't satisfy.
I've recently tried roasted soybeans and roasted edamame (about 2 ounces total as a snack in the afternoon) make a satisfying, crunchy, salty snack. The protein kills the "MUST EAT MORE" cravings that chips and bread and similar things give me. I've got to get my diet under control before I retire, probably less than 5 years from now. I eat less at work than I do at home... :-/ Good luck with the fight, everyone! Cheers, Scott. |

I’ve been working on my brainmeats
Trying to deprioritise food in my life. Which is a total pain, because I love food and cooking and cooking food, then eating it all. It’s the daft little tricks that seem to help - drink a pint of water before a meal, etc. |
