Some people don't seem to understand that "listen to your body" means that everyone's body is different and different things will work for different people.

I think it's straight up dangerous to listen to your body under our current material conditions. There are food engineers who are paid extreme amounts of money to hjack the processes filed under what you are listening to. Your entire hormonal feedback loop is subject to attack from a food environment that is mostly ersatz foods - amalgams of sugar, fat and salt which are chemically pre-digested. You consume them so quickly your body is trained from birth to always signal both hunger and appetite.

You gotta listen to your body holistically. Feeling like shit all the time is not normal. Having a bad sleep all the time is not normal either. Check your intake of stimulants and high processed foods. Depending on what you eat you'll feel 5 times better after just a few days on whole or home-processed foods. That also falls under listening to your body, and it's much more pressing in our de-regulated food capitalist dystopias.
