Q: Is diet a hopeless Promethean struggle? No we aren’t doomed to lose all effort.

• Coding drill is not only short term.
• Workout is not only short-term. Daily battle
• Flexibility exercise (Yoga) is not only short-term. Daily battle.
• Smoke cessation is not only short-term. Daily battle
• Calorie restriction is not only short-term. Daily battle
• Availability is not only short-term. Daily battle
• If you control availability for 9 months, you would see results (in terms of …).
• If you lose control over temptation for 3 months, you will see results.

By “losing control”, I don’t mean eating lots of bad food for 3 months. I mean the unregulated Availability of acceptable, often healthy, food, such as yogurt, lean meat, …

Too much of these “healthy” food is a major health hazard.

— defining the Promethean struggle .. repeated relapses, constant battle to stay in shape.

constant temptation .. is Not a necessary factor. Look at my flexibility.

Smoke cessation is one of the defining examples of a Promethean struggle.
