Idk, I see the point folks make when talking about cold turkey quits, but there's room for a gradual harm reduction approach too IMO. And it's kinda the only real option for food addiction (well, that and therapy to suss out the psychological underpinnings and work on those directly).
You've still gotta eat, but gradual yet consistent better choices can do wonders, if not as fast as folks may want (which is risk for relapse - see: start eating a bit better and exercising, expect to lose a ton of weight but hit a plateau, immediately get discouraged and throw the better choices out the window. Expectation management is really important - you had, say, 20 years of bad habits, you're not going to eat and exercise your way out of the consequences entirely in 6 months).
All of this said not experiencing food addiction myself, but watching people close to me struggle. Please point out if I'm being an insensitive asshole, I'd like to be able to support my friends through this stuff better.
