You make a lot of great points Orphia..
I lost ~ 40 ponds over a period of 18 months about two years ago.
I quit eating processed foods and most of the ingredients that go into them, particularly refined grains and sugar.
I eat mostly single ingredient foods, with a bias toward meat, fish and eggs. I don't avoid fat that I consider healthy.
I don't count calories or macros. If 'meal time' rolls around, and I'm not hungry, I don't eat. I don't get a lot of exercise, and I think that curbs my appetite, along with having lost any craving for the calorie dense, nutritionally deficient foods I used to eat.
I think a lot of people, particularly adolescents, stay hungry and over eat because they eat a lot of those foods, and they are still nutritionally malnourished.
At 70, I feel better than I have in 30 years and have no health concerns.
