What you eat make harder or easier to eat less.

It is not just genetics and it is not just self control. If you eat more fat and no carbs is much easier to eat less calories in total.

But carbs are delicious. That's a huge problem. Seriously. You can't just ignore how delicious carbs are if you want to actually change behavior.

The problem exists in the first place because carbs are delicious and cheap.

But sugar in particular has an addiction characterisc. Once you go some time without it, you don't miss it as much anymore.

And fat is also delicious.
