You're right, a HN comment doesn't do this subject any justice. Even a book might not be enough, as I have learned dealing with this issue for the past 5 years.

I wanted to refute that eating when hungry is ideal, it lead me to eating more often every day, eventually I was eating huge portions every 2 hours which resulted in insulin resistance.
- hnfong 5y agoI can second that. I've been working on fixing my hunger pangs for the past year or so. "Eat only when hungry" can end up badly if you already have eating/hunger issues in the first place. I've recently gotten myself to a state where I finally feel full after eating a reasonably portioned meal. Before that, eating most foods would just paradoxically make me get even more hungry.
- krisoft 5y ago> I wanted to refute that eating when hungry is ideal And you did refute that. It's not something the comment you responded to stated or implied but it's better to be clear about it. Sorry to hear about your health troubles and I hope that you are on the path to recovery.
