You can cease buying sugary foods and snacks like chips at the supermarket when you shop. You can explore swapping macros a bit so there's a bias in favor of eggs and fish and other protein. You can try to cut down eating between meals.
The idea of Predestination with regards to eating needs to stop. If there is a psychological addiction then that's the part to be addressed, it's a valid concern. I see what people eat - even people that are not obese - and it's disgusting. I can see at work, at restaurants, even walking in the streets what people eat. That this is 'normal' is what we have to actually try to stigmatize. Donuts, muffins, giant appetizes at dinner, all that stuff should be almost never eaten. Birthday cakes? All that stuff will become disgusting and nauseating to you if you step away from it for just a few months, and your body adapts away from sugar and carbs. It might be hard in the beginning as your metabolism struggles to adjust and keep signaling for you to eat more.
And for the record - not drinking alcohol is a lot harder than not eating for many people I know.
- iLoveOncall 4y agoNone of this matters when it comes to pure weight. You can eat the most healthy diet in the world and still be massively obese. On the other hand I have successfully lost 100 lbs in 6 months in the past, while eating fast food daily. I won't discuss the "healthiness" aspect of it, but losing weight is ONLY a matter of calories.
- oska 4y ago> You can eat the most healthy diet in the world and still be massively obese. Strongly doubt this assertion
- mancerayder 4y agoThen you're lucky. I a) intermittent fast, so never eat breakfast b) never eat dessert c) don't snack d) lift weights 3x a week and do other sports once a week e) don't eat fast food, and often skip appetizers, and stick to protein and veggies. If I don't do these things I get fat fast. So my sympathy for 'unlucky' is minimal; I'm sure only a small percentage of people suffer from such a poor metabolism that anything they eat causes the to gain weight. The rest choose not to put the effort in.
- iLoveOncall 4y agoYou're lying to yourself. Stop doing all of that, start counting calories and you will not gain any weight.
- mancerayder 4y agoYou're greatly oversimplifying, which might help you but it encourages ignorance of macros and how differently they're metabolized. It's well known among performance athletes that the body adapts to types of macros. Ultra marathon runners have their bodies adapt to consuming dense caloric foods (fats), as one really obvious example. Professional sports teams employ nutritionists and it's not because they need help counting calories in, calories out. I've spent a lot of time experimenting on myself, I can eat lower calories but if those lower calories are bread and sugary crap, I don't get leaner, I get fatter and weaker.
