Plenty of people have managed their food addictions and still are overweight. That's just the nature of it. If you think everyone who is overweight has an active food addiction, you should probably look into whether that's really true.
- orwin 2y agoYou're right, especially because I think being overweight is extremely easy to reach by just being sedentary. But obese, especially 35+ (never reached that, I caught myself a hair before), imho you need a 'food addiction', which was at least in my case either an overproduction of ghrelin or an hypersensitivity to it. Which kills any sort of temporary calorie restriction diet. My solution was a 5 day fast, and it worked well enough: I can now easily go hungry ( I am right now) and leave most of my meals hungry, without feeling more than a very, very mild discomfort (from a heavily to painful discomfort before, on the level of an occular migraine).
