[quote=Anonymous]I track nothing, but I second the recommendation above re: Dr. Will Bulsiewicz's book - Fiber Fueled. Some of the research he cites is a little cherry-picked, tbh, but the overall message of the book is one that changed my entire relationship with food. At bottom, his message is that instead of restricting what you eat or eating less, you should view every time you eat as an opportunity to nourish your body. If you are hungry and you eat junk, you missed an opportunity to fuel your body. That doesn't mean you ruined your diet and you might as well give up; you just should try to take the next opportunity to eat better food. This was really a mind shift for me that has improved my relationship with food 100x over.

Some other tl;dr from the book:
 - Aim to eat 40 different plants a week (this isn't just vegetables - fruit, seeds, whole grains, herbs count too!)
 - The more fiber you can eat, the better
 - Prebiotics and probiotics are really helpful for your gut
 - The less meat/animal products you eat, the better, but don't beat yourself up about it - again, view eating animal products as less-than-ideal nourishment vs. a "diet failure"

I follow this advice, have a healthy BMI, and most importantly I have stopped obsessing about what I eat. I generally eat healthy foods, I eat when I'm hungry and don't when I'm not, and I have plenty of energy to get through my day.
