Michael,

"you people" ??? C'mon.

The word you're groping for is "lose," not "loose." English speling is
triky sumthymes (and so i's the punctuation). And it's "sissies," not
"sissy's." Pardon me; I'm on a lifelong quest to exterminate mutant
apostrophes.

Nevertheless, you're right. Variety is key. Beyond that, I don't know of
any plain, natural, unseasoned food that tempts me to overeat. Crisp
roasted chicken skin is tempting, but even that is a product of
technology. I can't imagine wanting to overdo raw chicken. However,
lightly broiled, very rare, lean beef is self-limiting for me. A few
ounces (6 to 8) is plenty to hold me for a while, and it doesn't call to
me from the fridge like leftover pizza.

In a very real way, a diet of whole, natural foods contributes to mental
tranquillity and a quiet heart.
