A salad will do it except the tasting like a pizza part. Pretty damn good compromise.
- thematrixturtle 4y agoOnly problem is, to make a salad taste good most people add in chicken, bacon bits, cheese, egg, mayonnaise, heavy dressings and hey presto, you've got 1000 calories in there.
- Syonyk 4y agoOnly 1000? Must be a breakfast salad! The "Real Men of Genius" advertising series from the late 90s touched on this very well with their "Mr. Giant Taco Salad Inventor" ad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXWq2AVlrsY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXWq2AVlrsY
- civilized 4y agoReal Men of Genius still stands as the greatest ad series of all time. Surely created by a real man of genius.
- doliveira 4y agoThe taste is a pretty important part.
- darkerside 4y agoIt's a funny thing. The more important you think it is, the more important it becomes. If you allow yourself to think, maybe everything doesn't need to taste decadent and delicious, and that maybe a neutral green salad can taste fresh and palatable and that's good enough, you'll find it to become true.
- doliveira 4y agoIn theory you're not wrong, of course, but in practice "just eat salad instead of a pizza" is so simplified it's not even useful. And I can't even comprehend what's the "damn good compromise" you referred to. You can eliminate the daily cravings with this change of habits, but you can't change the caveman psychological reaction to eating a pizza. It will always taste much better and yield way more dopamine than a green salad ever will. Much like an ex-smoker and cigarettes.
