One slightly surprising side-effect of more embodied awareness is that I eat far, far less food than before.
I can't eat more than two meals a day, often just one. It just feels terrible. Overall almost halved my food consumption.

Still eat too many sweets, but that feels likely to go as well.

There's no real ethical or nutritional dimension to this choice. Body just doesn't feel right otherwise.

I suspect the underlying reason is that comfort eating - which is really what a lot of habitual eating under abundance conditions is - is dissociative.
It's a way to avoid a lot of specific feelings and body conditions. But in itself, it's overeating, and overeating feels bad.
