The quality is not in the quantity while I thought all my life it was. There is no 'better' feeling eating an entire cake versus taking 2 bites of the same cake. It took me 40 years to figure that out but he. The main trick was eating very very slow. Do not load the next spoon until your mouth is completely empty. I noticed i'm absolutely full eating a fraction of what I hammered down usually in a fraction of that time. > I'd be a bigger advocate of intermittent fasting. Yes, but stuffing myself in between, depending on your age, doesn't actually work very well. I felt like shit doing that, did not lose too much weight and my brain thought I needed that stuffing. Now I feel fit and healthy doing fasting & eating slowly. Let's see how long I keep it up. I need less sleep too.
