#2I'd love to have some help with this. I was able to drop meat, most dairy, and salty junk food without problem. I eat plenty of green leafy vegetables.
But sugar. Fuuuck I cannot walk past sweets. Sugar has claws in me I cannot shake. I hope we someday understand that mechanism better, maybe enough to give me a little help.

#3Just a related topic. FMT seems to cure a lot of things.
I had a really really bad body odor. Doctors did not help much.
It seems that during one episode in life my gut biome became really bad (heavy deinking).
Years passed and nothing helped me recover from that. Various health issues also depression due to that.
Latest doctor asked me to try FMT.. I was sceptic but at that point thought to myself - hell why not.
And after few months stuff started to fix by itself.
We dont understand yet how much our health depends on a healthy gut biome..

Had to google FMT: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fecal_microbiota_transplant

I hear you. Controlling your food environment is so important. It's candy on desks season again. I can usually walk past the candy, but not always.

Sugar is unreasonably instantly addictive and harmful in relation to its abundant availability. More so than alcohol or tobacco.

Curiously I tried something similar yet opposite: I stopped eating junk food and I started eating more leafy vegetables, but also I stopped eating seed oils (except for olive oil and chia oil which is rich in omega3), and gave myself green light to eat whatever amount I want of foods rich in proteins and fats, as long as it's not ultra processed.
To my surprise, my weight hasn't skyrocketed, I feel full way faster without having to exert loads of willpower to stop eating and my sugar cravings have reduced by a lot. Only from time to time I want to taste something sweet and even then I'm happy with just a green apple.
Sugar is a drug and it messes with our satety hormones. No matter how much you eat, you end up always wanting more

Don't drop salt, imo.
It is essential for strong stomach acid (a whole system benefit), your body always ensures the salt level in the blood (and will even extract it from bones). Ask yourself - 'what is the most common medical intervention' and you will see it is a saline drip. And farmers ensure that salt is available to the their cattle for their health. And Japanese have a highly salty diet and live long, with fewer bone breaks. And, and....
Salt is essential, and a low salt diet is terrible.
Then ask, why is a low salt diet recommended to people, if it is so good? The answer, sadly, is that the 'health' industry actually requires ill people - they make money treating disease, not from keeping people healthy. It is in the big pharma's interests to encourage poor behaviour, and, yes, they will even lobby governments to mandate behaviour that creates disease.

#9I've been hitting the gym for a few months now, and one thing that completely blew my mind was the existence of hypercalorics. Imagine that, not being able to eat a lot (specially carbs) and having to resort to these solutions.
Point being, people like to spew out CICO as if fat people just don't understand thermodynamics. What I've found is that matters is appetite: some people just get full way faster than others. Beyond metabolism differences, NEAT, emotional responses, etc, I think that's actually the major factor. So a hormone like that can be game-changing

Willpower is a finite resource indeed, you can't rely on that.
