I’d just like to clarify that when I refer to “diet” it means “food and drink considered in terms of its qualities, composition, and its effects on health”.I was not referring to the silly way that people lose weight temporarily by “going on diets”. I took the question to be one asking how people would be able to eat BETTER, not “How do I go on a diet?”. But I think I misread.
“What is the thing that keeps you from eating better? In other words, if someone told you about a diet they’d started that was working for them, what specific claim about it would get you to try it?”
The thing that keeps me from eating better is when I’m too lazy to make sure I have enough vegetables, grains, dairy products, meats, and all that I’m supposed to have. Picking and making sure I have everything.
I’m really into making sure I have enough fiber though, so a specific claim that would get me to try a new eating plan, is if some particular foods help with bowel movements. Usually I worry about a balanced meal just to make sure that I’m having regular bowel movements and to avoid occasional constipation. Since eating good does help with natural bodily functions. (Anyways, I’m just speaking gibberish now, and I don’t know if anything I said is relevant to the question anymore. I should just continue studying for my exam.)
