I’ve figured out why I get these jags of “must eat all the food”. You see, my medication suppresses my appetite, so I don’t always remember to eat regularly. I guess this means that my body is more likely to enter “famine” mode at times, or “we have an unreliable food source, thus whenever we can eat, we must eat enough to store it up for later”. Which means that there’s an easy solution! To have small bits of food regularly. (If I remember.)

That’s the case with any effective diet. Especially one for maintaining healthy blood sugar or weight.

Humans have to trick their body into understanding that there isn’t a famine, so that it stops holding fat deposits as a resource.
