I was reading an article about fad diets just a few minutes ago actually, and their point was that the 'control' you need to exert was reminiscent of eating disorders (writer was a former anorexic). It has occurred to me that for some people, the fixation on controlling numbers (calorie counting), could also act in this manner, rather than feeding a healthy mindset that focuses on the nutritional value of food.
Just a thought - and not dissing anyone who is a calorie counter!
Not all calories or points or fat grams or carbs or protein levels or....or.....or.....
As I said in my post, for the most part I have come to recognise what's what including judging visually the portion size and the caloric value. I don't sit there thumbing or scrolling pages of endless numeric values (frankly, I don't have that kind of time to waste, nor the patience to be bothered). And as for your comment (which I've highlighted in red) it is sweeping generalisation of which there is no foundation to based that on, and I for one, take objection to it.
There are plenty of studies that claim that people who weigh themselves daily are prone to OC disorder, so one has to wonder what that says about those who weigh twice daily??????
I'm not dissing those people either regardless of how many times they choose to step on the scales, but I think you understand where I'm going with these questions.
I'm glad you're enjoying your reading, but before you box people into neat little categories (either intentionally or not) be mindful that you could be called out explain your hypothesis!!!!
