LOL. Diets are a tomorrow thing, aren’t they? But seriously, intermittent fasting seems to help many people. Some say that it resets one’s appetite and stops compulsive eating.
Typically, people start feeling better very quickly. They will start to look at it not exclusively in terms of vanity (losing weight).
What surprised me, was so many ailments that I thought were part of aging or just something I had to put up with, were in reality the side effects or chronic overeating. Allergies, weird rashes, gut and stomach issues, sleeping problems, energy. My vision improved markedly. There is a kind of “clear thinking” that many people describe, or certainly I noticed a reduction in what I would call “Carb Fog” upon awakening in the morning.
Once in a while I will have a junk food binge like the old days. It just makes me feel sick. Still have a weakness for some carby foods, but the body naturally learns to prefer real food, it just does. I also learned right away what specific foods don’t agree with me. I used to eat so much, so often, there was no way to tell. Artificial fats mainly, just destroy my digestion. Cheese and butter OK, but I limit Milk, no corn syrup. Coconut oil for frying, or lard, tallow, butter, olive oil.
