>>There is instant regret, but that is after eating. Yes and this is symptom of addiction. From that you can see that advice of "eat less" or "count calories" is as useful as "don't take anymore heroin". The only useful advice is about how to change your lifestyle/eating habits to be able to eat less not that you should eat less in the first place. Think about it like an athletic coach, do you tell the sprinter that he should run faster and count seconds or do you tell him what drills to do to actually become faster ? "Count calories" is the same as "just run faster and count seconds".
