Much as i like the channel, I wouldn't normally post casually explained videos here as they're a bit of a low hanging fruit but this one was actually pretty informative! Tildes, enjoy.

I think this is one worth bookmarking and sharing with people who stress out too much over their diet.
As someone who’s very active (but nowhere near Olympic fit) and maintained a healthy body weight all my life and has almost perfect skin and virtually no health problems, my nutritional routine is pretty simple.
I do the following:
eat when hungry
…and not eat when not hungry. (Mindless boredom snacking.) I see people munch away on chips and salsa just because they’re within reach.
eat a little slowly so stomach satiety response can catch up
eat meals that have something starchy, something fatty, and something proteiny.
eat diversely
not eat too much of one thing
eat some fiber to prolong satiety
don’t eat too much sugar to avoid blood sugar spike
…unless I’m working out and need that quick energy.
drink plenty of water
…and not drink too much beer/alcohol. I drink to get a light buzz, not to get drunk. The alcohol calorie savings really stack up.
occasional big treats (slice of cake at end of week), frequent small treats (scoop of ice cream or a few blocks of chocolate after a weeknight dinner).
With the exception of genuine medical needs, most people make it way too complicated with juice cleanses and antioxidant regimens and whatnot.

My friends who have trouble losing weight know how to do it, but they have mental health problems that prevent them from doing so. People tend to think of eating disorders only causing weight loss (anorexia), but many cause weight gain (binge eating is a prevalent one). The weight loss subreddits have a saying: losing and maintaining weight is simple, but not easy. People want a quick fix, so that’s why they reach for juice cleanses.
From a personal standpoint, my hunger meter is way off. My body wants to eat like a 200lb professional athlete, but a healthy weight for me is more like 125lbs. If I don’t track my food intake, I always end up overeating. Food is just that good to me.
I have/had the same problem. I will say that increasing my physical activity reduced my hunger. Likewise, decreasing my physical activity increased my overall hunger. I also have a psychological...

I have/had the same problem. I will say that increasing my physical activity reduced my hunger. Likewise, decreasing my physical activity increased my overall hunger.
I also have a psychological attachment to being able to eat large quantities. It's difficult being "less hungry" and not being able to eat as much as you're used to… you just want to enjoy more food.
Dang, I’m the opposite! I only started gaining weight when I started exercising regularly. Before that, I tended to eat very little and didn’t think about my weight at all. Some of the gain was...
Dang, I’m the opposite! I only started gaining weight when I started exercising regularly. Before that, I tended to eat very little and didn’t think about my weight at all. Some of the gain was muscle (which I did need), but after a certain point I was putting on too much.
I do most of what you do and I find it's OK for me to snack regularly (and I do) if I make up for it by cutting down on carbs in meals and exercising regularly. Disclaimer, though, don't snack on...
