[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone who's easily thin truly like food?[/quote]

Yep. I love food. I have coffee for breakfast most days, but enjoy filling and satisfying lunches and dinners, full of animal products, veggies, and a smaller amount of carbs/starches. Occasionally I’ll enjoy something like ramen for lunch, but I’ll make sure to eat it with substantial foods like eggs and pork belly, and balance it with a good dinner full of meats/seafoods and veggies. If I have a sandwich, I make sure it’s got a good amount of meat vs the bread. If I eat pizza, I take my time to enjoy a few pieces. Occasional fast food is also enjoyed, but not the super-sized meals of my youth. I’m happy with small fries and a cheeseburger. I feel like I’m enjoying the foods so many others are too scared to eat, so it doesn’t feel restrictive at all. I don’t snack and I’m not hungry between meals.

You actually don’t sound like you love food.

I’m talking steak with twice baked potatoes.
Barata and bread
Muscles and cream sauce with crusty bed and homemade Caesar salad with a mound of Parmesan cheese.
Lobster ravioli with tomato cream sauce. 
BulGogi tacos with yum yum sauce[/quote]

All of these foods sound kind of gross to me. I'm not a cream sauce person. I had a friend who was obese and she made butter wrapped in bacon and I didn't understand why she wanted to eat that so badly. I have a theory that overweight people enjoy more fatty foods than thin people.

Don't get me wrong, people who cook without oil make the most disgusting food. But when someone douses something in olive oil, it turns me off as well.[/quote]

Different individuals need different diets, actually. You really need to listen to your body for this. I'm part of a family with autoimmune diseases and various intestinal symptoms. Some of my relatives could benefit from a FODMAP-eliminating diet. We've figured out on our own what foods make us feel better. I can't eat beans, or too much fiber in general. I can't eat too many onions or peppers or garlic.

Despite being thin, hardly eating any animal fat and not having a sweet tooth, I seem to have a genetic predisposition to high cholesterol and diabetes, because I've always had cholesterol in the higher range of normal all my life, even as a child, and my A1c is slightly elevated. I eat lean protein and hate sweet desserts!

It's really important to know how your own body works, instead of decreeing that one diet will work for everyone.
