??????????? Not true...
Agree with skinny cow. Saying restricted diets fail is like saying having a challenging job leads to unemployment. I’ve been on a restricted diet for years. It depends on the person.
But it may be good for a beginner to ease into a healthy diet rather than totally restricting their diet. MAYBE. Because I know if I let myself eat junk food at all, I will only want to eat more junk. Instead I never eat junk food and I never crave it.
Plus I care about my skin and that’s really affected by junk food.
Anyways do what works for you.
That mindset about never having any "junk" food is actually an eating disorder called orthorexia. Just something to think about.
I enjoy what I eat and have no stress around eating. I don’t need junk food so it’s not like I’m missing out on a necessity. Orthorexia isn’t about restriction, you have to have something negative with it like stress or fear around eating the wrong thing. If I accidentally ate a donut I would say “oh well! That was fun!” If an Orthorexic ate a donut by accident they would freak out.
How does anyone eat something by 'accident'?
Other than flies when running!
I "accidentally" eat donuts often

You are literally like me. I have gained 11lbs in a year by having these ”savior” foods or drinks like milk which I just drink and drink as much as I can. My daily calories from 2 liters of milk are 1200kcal and then I just eat normal food during the day.0
