I live a relatively active life but I struggle with eating too much. I feel like there is no diminishing returns when I eat something. Each chip tastes just as good as the last one. So I will be craving food but know it’s not healthy for me to eat more. I’m trying to find ways to ignore that feeling or dismiss it.

Are there any tips or methods you use to help with that? Impulse control is the hardest thing to work on sometimes.

I agree that omad is one of the best diets out there, however it only partly helps with overeating. My personal experience is that I started to develop crazy binge urges a few weeks / months into it to a point that I felt sick ever night and still managed to gain lots of weight. Especially when combined with regular exercise.

Binge eating unfortunately is a different beast caused by numerous other issues so I think they need to be addressed by something other than a diet
