I track my macros. I have a jar of Chilli Crisp and a jar of hot honey on hand at all times.
If I make my lean chicken tacos for dinner and Ive got a bunch of carbs left i put the hot honey on, if I have fats left over I use the Chilli Crisp, if Im running light on both just a small pinch of chilli powder.
Saw dad lose a cannonball of a beer belly. He had run into an old friend and was embarrassed by how fat he had become in comparison. Asking his friend how he lost it, John replied:
"Easy Bob, I just brainwashed myself into thinking being hungry was a good thing."
You're not telling yourself food is bad, that way lies eating disorders. You're simply telling yourself that being low-key hungry is a normal state of affairs for a homo sapien. Because it is a normal state of affairs. Stop horking down pork rinds every time a little hunger pings you. Fucking ignore it, go on. That behavior can become a habit.
People see my skinny ass eat like a hog and marvel at my "metabolism". No, hard no. I only put calories in my face two, maybe three times a day. Zero snacks, zero soft drinks. (OK, time to fess up. Many calories from beer. There, I said it.)
A long time ago, i decided to myself there are people starving all over the world. Maybe it's okay if I occasionally feel some mild hunger sometimes, and that helped a lot when I decided to actively drop. I still eat snacks, but it's zero while the sun is up. Then at night I can easily add up my meals and know how much chocolate I can have, which is a critical nutrient in my book, especially paired with peanut butter.
I find it easier to maintain a hard no-snacking policy, than to try to reduce snacking but with case-by-case exceptions. Stick to eating at mealtimes only, rather than allowing yourself to rationalise that slice of cake (it's a colleague's birthday, rude not to), bag of chips (I only had a small lunch) or dozen donuts (they'll go stale if I don't eat them, that's wasteful).
Thats why Intermittent fasting works so well for some people. I'm great at absolutes, I can not eat way easier than I can just do small portions.
Calories in must be less than calories out for weight loss to happen.
Every other method is trying to sell you something.
Better diet can absolutely help loads, but if you are eating 15 pounds of broccoli and fish a day it's still too much fuel and not enough burn. You can definitely work out to burn some of that energy off but at some point you just have to eat less.
I say this as a current fat person who has lost the weight and put it back on in his life.
I eat my feelings away and I got BIG over the last few years. I was at 340 at my worst. I'm still overweight, but I'm slowly working on it again. It takes time and discipline. Two things I'm not great about.
Person for me I like to start off with a fast of a day or two without any solid foods. Just water and maybe some tea or something. this helps me get over the appetite hump and my huge black hole or a stomach.
If you stop eating huge meals your body will alter where it's "I'm full" feeling is at. Unfortunately food is delicious and I push past that feeling all the time because it's yummy God dammit lol.
Weight loss is not a sprint. It's a marathon. Don't quit if you fall off the wagon. Just get back up and keep joggin.
don't consume sugar. get that shit out of your house. do not snack, ever. do not cheat. habits are all about consistency. get used to being hungry at the end of the day. eat a carrot, fatass.
You are right but there is no need to be mean.
