Some years ago I needed to shed a few pounds. This is unusual for me as I am a small built person who doesn't struggle with weight. Except now, when I have trouble maintaining a reasonable weight. My PCP and my cardiologist both say I need to either stop losing weight or put on weight and even my PCP said she is unversed in telling people to gain weight as it's usually the opposite.
Anyway, when I had packed on a few excess pounds I realized that when I cooked and would go for seconds I was always going for the high calorie, comfort type food. I made up my mind to eat my meal and not go back for seconds. That worked wonderfully for me and I have been doing that for about 30 years now. Illness a couple years ago caused me to lose too much weight but instead of going back to the old habit of seconds, I now drink a protein shake or eat a protein bar for a snack.
We all need to find what works for us and fits into our health requirements. There's no one-size-fits-all.
