[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Eating normally is so subjective and loaded.

I don't starve myself - I eat as much fruit, vegetables, lean proteins and whole grains as I want - but I limit processed food, takeout, dessert, added sugars, alcohol, and refined grains to maybe 5-10% of the time. For me, this is 'eating normally' but it requires discipline. To answer your question, I do it because it is more worth it to me to feel good in my body all (or most) of the time than the short-term good feelings of indulging in that list of things that tastes good but carries marginal to no nutritional value, and would cause weight gain and leave me feeling sluggish.[/quote]

This, 100%. The only diet days I was ever hungry was because I kind of chose to use my calorie allowance on non - nutritious food so I had to restrict eating further. Eating normally can mean eating with discipline. My French mom has been doing that her whole life. She doesn’t seem to be on diet at all. But her eating is made of daily conscious choices.

And as for me and why I will always fight natural weight gain creep : I have an unforgiving body shape. I am objectively thin but I am a total apple, any weight I gain goes 95% to belly and boobs. Which means I both look generally thin but I am 2 kilos away from not being able to close my pants and to have unhealthy visceral fat. So I’d rather eat and exercise to stay at the bottom end of healthy BMI. [/quote]
