And healthy food tends to be more fiber rich, which will make you feel fuller for longer
Comment on Anon goes on a diet
InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 3 days agoBig part of this is to eat healthy. Fruits and veggies aren’t as calorie dense as junk food, so you can still eat enough to feel full(ish as you still need calorie deficit)

Should be first comment.
Wanna lose weight and still eat? Eat carrots and lettuce. Nothing but. You’ll lose 10 kg a week.

Can confirm. Eating healthy helps a lot. The first time I tried to lose weight, didn’t change what I ate, just how much I ate. So I was still eating crappy, completely non-nutritious food. Just less of it. I plateaued well before reaching my target weight, was desperate to eat all the time, felt like shit, got frustrated, gave up, and gained all my weight back.
The second time, I did better. Ate healthier, but still not as well as I could. But I got down to my target weight and kept it off for a good long time.
Now, I keep my weight at my target weight mostly without thinking about it. I eat healthy, but not specifically for the purpose of keeping my weight at a good level per se. More because… well I want to be healthy.
Moral of the story, try not to fixate on your weight. Eat healthy for your health. Health is about more than just your weight. And being healthy will help you meet your weight goals more than losing weight will help you reach your health goals.
