natural fats are generally healthy and keeps you satisfied for longer and in a less crashy way as opposed to sugars/carbohydrates in general
I feel like I experience a reduced need to eat and snack when my food includes natural fats, especially when in combination with protein. To put it very simply, I’m persuaded the more healthy fats, the better, they should not be limited or demonized in the way that they have been maligned when sugar was the greater evil all along
I dunno about anyone else, but if I cut (but not entirely eliminate) a significant amount of fats from my diet, good or bad, my libido absolutely tanks. Yes, I lose weight faster, but it’s not even worth it to me if I can’t have a good time when I want to, so I don’t get too extreme in trying to reduce fats from my diet.
My conjecture is you don’t need to cut out fats, you should consider or try minimizing carbs and sugar and consequently try eating what you want provided you use
Oh yeah, I’m aware of all those points and practice them regularly, but thanks for mentioning them! I was speaking of past experiences (like a year ago). I try to stay away from extreme dieting stuff, although I just started 5:2 “dirty” fasting just as a mental challenge (bonus points if I lose some weight), so we’ll see how that goes.
Does doing the opposite have an aphrodisiac effect then? 😏
