With you there! Regardless of what is being consumed, valuing immediate gratification over long-term health is high time preference.

Life is too short to be afraid of a few carbs.  Everything in moderation. Best diet is less.

From Fat to Fit in Four Months

> In my mind I see consuming carbs as a high time preference activity that is enjoyable during the moment, but has longer term negative consequences.

If enjoying is high time preference then a delicious steak has to be high time preference too?

I find this carb-phobia quite silly. Do they think ancestral peoples did not regularly eat fruit or honey?

Not all carbs are junk food and eating carbs does not mean eating 3000 calories of carbs. Sugars, and the minerals that come with them, have very important metabolic roles (particularly when losing so much weight in a short timeframe).

What's most important: whether honey or steak, make sure you earned it. Work out, do hard things, and then please yourself with food.
