Ladies and Gentlemen,
It's not everyday an issue of Science contains articles about newly discovered "fresh" impact craters (Hiawatha) or fingers the source of the worst year to be alive (534 in case you're time traveling).
But the same issue has these open (no paywall) articles summarizing what we do know about eating and living long healthy lives.
Quick takeaways:
- The 1977 guidelines that we all grew up with were written by politicians, not scientists.
- Trans-fats are bad, no matter what.
- Intermittent fasting can help your brain, kidneys, chemotherapy effectiveness and recovery, AND encourage weight loss.
- Refined sugars and carbs are generally bad for you.
There's way more than any summary can contain. In fact, almost every section of these four meta-articles could be their own discussion topic.
Since I care for all of you, I want you all to be as healthy and live as long as you want. These articles contain the state of-the-art on how to do that through proper eating habits.
Optimizing the diet.

Some options to shrink your stomach:
Take some amphetamine pills - there are "diet pills" similar to adderall that basically work by making you nauseous so you can't eat. Pretty much any (meth)amphetamine will have the same effect though.
Drink to excess/drink something you know will give you a bad hangover
Don't bring a lunch to work and leave your money at home
I know it's not a particularly healthy way to go about it, but feeling like shit and/or being unable to procure food is the only way I can stop eating, and it sounds like it might help you too. Once you manage to fast for day or two, it will be much easier to eat less, as long as you don't eat until you're all the way full - that's important, because you don't want to stretch your stomach back out, it will make it hard to feel full again. Spreading your meals out into smaller, more frequent portions can help you with not eating too much at one time if you have a hard time with it.
