Dude fuck this attitude. I've been trying to eat properly for actual years. I try to eat fewer carbs, I count my calories, and do my damnedest to stay in a caloric deficit. I work out frequently and hydrate well. I take a probiotic to ensure my gut microbiome is going to be on its best behaviour.

And then my body screams at me that I am hungry. And on the first day of this, I can mind over matter. On the second day, it is more difficult, but I can just about keep it up. On the nth day it makes me feel sick with how hungry my body is telling me I am. I eat, and I go over calorie budget. My mindset spirals. I end up 3 weeks down the line and my weight is right back where it started.

I want to make the change. I'm fucking trying. It is not as simple as people "doing absolutely anything but eating properly".

And all that doesn't even touch on modern producers purposely designing their food products to be literally addictive.

First of all, damn.

Second of all, try drinking water whenever hungry, or chewing gum. It may help. You already got so far, I even slightly jealous ^^'
