My problem isn’t food education. I’ve worked with a dietician program supervised by a bariatric doctor. Whole Foods adequate protein calorie counting etc. works

  My entire comment is about how I learned to accept that I can't rely on constant willpower, did you read the whole thing or discard it as just being "learn what macros are"? Having someone else come up with a diet isn't really what I'm talking about. I'm talking about internalizing the stuff, so that it's not just a constant willpower battle. I used to have the same "etc." mentality about all that "Whole food protein stuff", but actually sitting down myself and learning the underlying concepts rather than the fads was completely different than getting talked down to by a professional or reading some weight loss guide. Just look at my example about pizza, I didn't have the willpower so I "shortcutted" around my willpower. If I had tried to make it a battle of willpower I would have lost. It's small things like that which make it less constant of a battle. Same with not multitasking while eating, something I learned was that I overeat when I'm multitasking because it's harder to sense when I cross the line from hungry to full. tl;dr, I didn't mean just "food education", as in learning to read labels, but learning about your own relationship with food, like the emotional component, the situations where your willpower is tested most, so you can develop strategies specific to yourself. A dietitian can't do that for you, it's a deeply personal thing.
