natural fats are generally healthy and keeps you satisfied for longer and in a less crashy way as opposed to sugars/carbohydrates in general

    I dunno about anyone else, but if I cut (but not entirely eliminate) a significant amount of fats from my diet, good or bad, my libido absolutely tanks. Yes, I lose weight faster, but it’s not even worth it to me if I can’t have a good time when I want to, so I don’t get too extreme in trying to reduce fats from my diet.

      My conjecture is you don’t need to cut out fats, you should consider or try minimizing carbs and sugar and consequently try eating what you want provided you use

      • small plates and serving containers so you are conscious of seconds and also not trying to finish an unnecessarily larger plate or bowl that encourages overconsumption
      • replace with fats and proteins in that order to keep you full and energized
      • stay on the borders of the grocery store in general because thats where the boring healthy stuff is
