Yes, I calorie track around 1900 calories average. Maybe up to 2000?

They are probably losing muscle mass!



Oh, OK. So depending on your height, that sounds fine.

So you're still eating plenty, but the point is that you no longer have any desire to over-eat?

And so at a restaurant you still order and eat, but the food just doesn't mean "enjoyment" the way it used to?

That makes a lot more sense then. If food becomes more about removing a negative feeling of discomfort, than a positive feeling of deliciousness, right then overeating would never make any sense.

Thanks!


Good food still tastes good. You're just less hungry.


Yeah, I am 6’2 and broad chested etc - I am consistently losing like 2 pounds a week, give or take. If I am less active like due to illness, that slows down. I think any faster than that, and I’d be worried about crashing back to my old weight or other side effects.

I went out to eat today, and enjoyed my food. I didn’t order a big burger, but a smaller sandwich. I had a bite of an appetizer, but not more than a bite. Still super enjoyable, but it might be even better now because I don’t feel like a fat pig afterwards due to reasonable portion size.

I am food motivated like a dog, for whatever that’s worth.
