For me the reason is that I just feel better eating less carbs. I feel less energy swings, I don't get sleepy after the meal. But eating actually low carb (say <50 g daily) is just very inconvenient to me as I really don't like cooking and meticulous meal planning. Well, and carbs are often fucking delicious. So in the end I eat pretty normal but I do avoid carbs whenever it doesn't require too much effort.

I get quite a lot of cravings and eating random stuff (like mentioned butter) between the meals is quite common for me. But on the other hand I really like physical activity and I'm pretty good at keeping a rolling estimate of my calories and macros. I use that to compensate for weird stuff I've eaten during cravings. I will adjust my next meal (or all the meals next day) to be lighter, I will go for additional 10km walk or run, stuff like that. In the end I'm able to keep my calorie balance in slight surplus which works out quite well since I'm strength training too. Occasional cut resets the situation when my weight gets too high. As for macros, I'm eating a lot of protein, and trying to keep carbs relatively low, although usually it's probably not really in the proper "low carb" territory. I also eat vegetables and fruits regularly. I think I'm keeping pretty much perfect weight. BMI is kinda high but that's due to muscle mass.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure I could. I never did that because I have enough reason and willpower. But eating a bit of butter by itself as a "snack" is something I do sometimes and I'm sure I could eat a lot more if I didn't control myself.
Man, this would not work for me. I'm always willing to eat butter.
Not sure why you are downvoted. This has to be terrible for your body. Maybe unless you have some very specifc spinal issue or something like that I guess?
Maybe they just want you to let your guard down to deal the final blow when you least expect it? Better be careful!
Yes, I hate them! And apparently you can literally fucking die from messing with them too?!
Yes! I actually couldn't resist reading it again when posting it.
This is what always comes to my mind when someone mentions Enlightenment: https://web.archive.org/web/20230424121033/https://what.thedailywtf.com/topic/15001/enlightened. Might provide some answers too.
Well, I didn't even get to this part. But... it doesn't have scrollback? Really? That's crazy!
I mean, I would say it's not a half bad thing to build your identity around.
Excellent explanation. Saving this for discussions with friends.
