I mean, that exact same criticism applies to every diet. Caloric restriction, intermittent fastin, pescaterianism/vegetarianism/veganism, etc.

There are 3 options:

  1. Eat to live, rather than love to eat. Treat nutrition as a utility and not entertainment.

  2. Learn to enjoy healthy eating. Not just the mouth feel and taste, but appreciating how much better you feel for the ~21 hours of the day you don't spend eating.

  3. Eat all the terrible things. Enjoy the taste and mouth feel. Laugh, and grow fat.
