Appetite is not a choice though and it's not easy to just ignore and do the right thing. It's not a thing you can change just like that.

- the_cramer 6y agoIt isn't. But change like that is exactly what you need to do. If it's good or bad to change it via a drug instead of mental discipline is another question. But you could change your food and eat tons of it. I am a pretty slim person and i eat a lot compared to my friends. I also don't do much sport and as a developer is sit a huge part of the day. So for me it comes down to WHAT i eat and it's serving me pretty well. You don't need to fight your appetite, you can serve it and still loose weight.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 6y ago> You don't need to fight your appetite, you can serve it and still loose weight. I've lost over 150lbs and kept most of it off for the better part of a decade, so I will tell you from experience that you are full of shit.
- metiscus 6y agoIn my experience, bodyweight functions like a closed loop control system that uses hunger signals to address the error signal. The error signal is basically (greatest weight attained) - (current weight) where the greatest weight attained value is severely lag filtered, say 2 years or more. The system seems to be very strong in response to rate changes in the error. The integral of the error seems to be pretty strong over a period of say 5-7 days. Congratulations on your weight loss, does your experience compare to what I've described?
- Cthulhu_ 6y agoWhile it's not a choice, there are things that influence appetite; for example, going for high calorie but poorly filling food and drink (e.g. soda), or the (I'm handwaving here) "moreish" foods.
