I lost 120lbs and for a long time I was in almost the same situation, but I can say I "fixed this problem".
I realized I didn't have a hormonal or even psychiatric issue: I was an addict.
Addicted to sugar, fat, salt in extreme quantities. I would always go from a bowl to a box of cereal.
So I quit it all. Cold turkey. It could "fit my macros", but I took no sugar, no junk food, no snacks.
Only food. Real food.
And I realized it's really hard to become fat on rice, chicken and vegetables. You"d need an insane appetite.
And, after some time, I slowly regained control.
I stopped counting calories, and now I'm happy to say I'm able to eat half a Snickers bar and not crave anything else.
And I'm fit! Happy eating, keeping a bit of muscle and a low body fat =)
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 8y ago> I realized I didn't have a hormonal or even psychiatric issue: I was an addict. This I'd agree with. I'm addicted to food, but unfortunately there's no realistic way to quit food. > And I realized it's really hard to become fat on rice, chicken and vegetables. You are incorrect, in my experience.
- _emacsomancer_ 8y agoYeah, rice has an awful lot of calories (that's why it's a staple food so many places).
- solveit 8y agoDepends how good you are at cooking rice. As an East Asian, westerners generally suck at turning raw rice into something nice.
