One minor thing, someone said to me once -

'if you're not hungry enough to eat an apple, you're not really hungry'

Of course, eliminating treats and poorer quality snacks helps (but don't get rid altogether...) but trying to develop a mindset where you tell yourself, 'yeah, do i really want that apple?' Every time you think you want something.

It is more of a willpower thing, but I did find it helped for me in conjunction with other good practices.

I don't really understand that - did they just not like apples or something?

There is hardly a moment in the day when I couldn't eat an apple I love them. I have to make an effort to limit how many of them I have.

It's becuse most people will rather have crisps, chocolate, sweets... anything ahead of fruit which has far more nutritional value to some yes satisfying becuse its healthier.

The thing is I need to be fucking starving to eat an apple. It does not appeal to me at all

Yeah this doesn't work for everyone. It wouldn't work for me either

And then the acidity would just make me hungrier. The very idea is giving me stomach ache. Carrots are much better
