They're like, they're not going to stick to it for a long time in the same way.

The same idea applies to nutrition where the norm is to cut out all their favorite foods because they think they're automatically bad and have to go.

Willpower vs. Systems: Why Your Diet Fails & How to Fix Your Relationship w/ Food | Sohee Carpenter

And I'm like, no, I want you to keep your favorite foods as much as you can, but can we be a little bit more judicious about, a little bit more intentional about our portions?
