If you actually listen to your body I think it will tell you it does not want all that tho. It’s just a matter of learning how to read the signs (which isn’t easy at first)

I think that means the opposite. Like you wont survive famines because you eat so much

Nah it mean your body is good at storing fat and things so that if food runs out you can survive off of your own body fat

For me it was mostly learning the difference between what it felt like when I was truly hungry vs just bored, and also taking breaks while eating to check whether I’m actually still hungry or just on a ravenous binge

True, but you also have to eat the right stuff as well

What I meant was that regardless of their choices beforehand they still need to track calories in this situation because eating intuitively doesn't work for them if one of their symptoms is increased hunger. And some people are more genetically predisposed to developing pre-diabetes anyways. Idk why it's an issue that they count calories to lose weight if thats what works for them

Yeah I agree, I never said it’s an issue to count calories, I do the same! I was just commenting on the pre diabetic part
