Too many rules?

[Trim_IRL]

I agree with HormoneHacker, keeping my rules simple has helped. I tried a million diets, but they were all too restrictive for me

I am of the opinion that the most important thing is to be on board with what you are doing. If you despise it, then its a countdown till you quit doing it, i think that is a huge factor in the success people have and the good feeling associated with it.

The protein focus is a trap when calorie math gets ignored. The hunger signal the medication restores is the actual tool. Stopping before full is more useful than hitting a gram target.

the satiety index is an underused framework compared to glycemic index - foods that score high don't just fill faster, they keep hunger suppressed longer per calorie, which is exactly what you want when stacking with a medication that also suppresses appetite. the practical overlap is the recommendation to avoid mixing macros in ways that lower the effective satiety of a meal even when individual components would have been satiating on their own
