I know there are a lot of fad diets and then there is calorie counting as a more science based approach. I myself do calorie counting and follow a strict diet in order to avoid overeating. How do you eat all day, you follow a system?

Also meditate to cultivate awareness of how your body feels. Especially if you’re a man because culturally (and possibly biologically) men tend to be cut off from their feelings.

💯 I'm closing in on 40m and I'd be in a world of pain if I hadn't started listening to my body. I had a "bad back" and got sucked into going to a chiropractor for years. One day I realized they weren't going to fix anything and it was up to me to figure out why I hurt and make it better. I'm largely pain free now, because I started taking the time to listen instead of "just power through it".

I also lost 70lbs and have maintained a healthy weight for a decade without a "diet", aside from what I said in my original post. Shit food made me feel like shit, but I didn't want to listen...
