I don’t think so. In my observation a lot of people eat because it is time to eat, or because others are eating, or because they are bored, or because food is at hand.
> acting without self discipline
That is a curious thing to say. Not eating when one is not hungry takes a lot of self discipline. “Eat only when hungry” is a whole bunch of not eating.
- simmerup 2y agoWhen I was regularly eating sugar, I was always hungry. I couldn't go an hour or two without having a snack of something. Ever since I switched to whole food diet, I don't get nearly as hungry and easily go 12+ hours without food without a thought I think you're underestimating just how hungry people feel
- krisoft 2y ago> I think you're underestimating just how hungry people feel Possible. Or people have no clue what hunger really is. But still the advice didn’t say “eat every time you are hungry”. It said “A good way to start is to eat only when feeling hungry.” That is actually a prohibition. The advice is equivalent with: do not eat when you are not hungry. It also in the very sentence admits that this is not the only rule to be followed. That’s the “A good way to start”. Meaning that there are other things to be aware of. One of them being what you eat as you mention.
