I agree with madler... any conscious restriction is.. well.. restriction. Although there's nothing inherently wrong with that from a mental point of view and there indeed is some merit to that... but it is still fighting against the body - and is a deprivation strategy in itself... on some level anyway... understanding how the body decides what it needs (as well as "wants" and those are clearly different) and what affects that mechanism would certainly bring a lot more value from a practical perspective... I strongly believe that new, more "intuitive" approaches to dieting (as well as exercise) will emerge soon based on that understanding...
