Mccoy in the discussion I feel like I’m talking to myself over the years. Attempting to cure my ravishing appetites. Just having moderate success now before I drop off and this body decays and is forgotten by me and everyone else. Quite an irony in the end of the story.
I too noticed a similar behaviour, I gained control and moderation only after a few decades of practice.
Presently, my diet and lifestyle behaviour has changed, I adhere to credible scientific evidence from researchers who probably managed to attend to the right spheres of God's thoughts and were successful in grasping the causal blueprint of a narrative. There si a whole field now with scientific protocols on healthspan and longevity. And I'll say many things are basically similar to what we know from Raja Yoga as preached by the great masters.
For example, the science of fasting has evolved and now I adhere to the 5 days
fast mimicking diet elaborated by Dr. Valter Longo, an eminent biogerontologist.
Through ample research, he determined that the beneficial effects of a water-only fast can be achieved, in great part, by drastically decreasing the caloric intake and especially protein in a five days period.
In a few words, you are reaping the benefits of fasting but with much less effort, since you eat 750 kcals per day. I tried that multiple times and with me, it works very well.
The above is an example of how an improvement of traditional medicine by guys who are able to attune to the causal world of ideas, by repeated focus and concentration, and by rigorous experimentation.
