the title is saying “particular way of achieving X no different than simply achieving X.” agree, any way of achieving X achieves X - the question is how do you do it

No, it says "particular way of attempting to achieve X no more likely to be successful than other ways of attempting to achieve X". That's a totally different thing to what you said.

Right, but it's not special is all, or innately more effective.

However one can control their intake, that's what works.

IF probably works for some people because it reduces food noise for them.

Anything you can do to reduce food noise allows you to eat less, allows you to lose weight

It is special, at least to me. I don't even think about food until like 8pm.
