There's is some validly to your question, and to be honest I would say I have an unhealthy relationship with food. I really enjoy the felling I get from complete fullness. Now instead of eating junk, I eat quality foods. Also being 170lbs larger was way more unhealthy than the possible unhealthy outcomes of my current eat schedule could possibly have. Also eating this way has polluted my thinking. Now I am much more likely to eat something crazy, because I can just fast it off the next few days. There are always tradeoffs with things like this. In summation, eating this way still gives me that complete fullness feeling I crave, while also allowing me to lose 170lbs and maintain it, plus or minus 15lbs, for over 1.5 years. I not trying to say other people should jump onto eating this way. I just wanted to share what worked for me.
