When I started the article I thought it would be completely misguided, but there was a lot of good information inside. I just don't agree with the emphasis on counting calories. As the article says, we are bad at it. But supposing we could do it perfectly, then what is the right number we should ingest? Besides, we eat for more than just calories. Nutrients are more important. Your body might tell you to keep eating after you get enough calories because it is missing something else. Our body has an amazingly good, built in mechanism to control what we eat without us consciously tracking our input. The only problem, as mentioned in the article, is some modern foods throw off our system. So don't eat those. I don't find avoiding processed foods or even foods with processed sugar a sacrifice in any way, at least from a pleasure point of view. Disclaimer - eating refined sugar gives me headache so maybe that makes it easier. (Fruit does not give me a headache. Fruit cooked in the oven at high temperatures to caramelize the sugars does. ? )
