This is a joke but I lost 20 pounds so far just by eating half as much as I normally would.
That’s the way it works, you’re no joke homie
Thermodynamics is a cruel but fair mistress
She gives but she takes, equally.
Is she though? The cruel part is our own brain sabotaging our efforts
Reminder to readers thay there is a stark difference between "cutting back" and starving yourself.
Smaller portions and less calorie-dense options make a huge difference over time.
It's also much more sustainable. Make small tweaks as you go versus making big, drastic swings at your eating habits.
This might sound weird, but after a point it's easier to just forego eating. It can be kind of dangerous how effective it is, but anyone who has gone a long time without food probably recognizes how their body stops bothering them with hunger.
It can but it's dangerous and not recommended due to the many negative health effects.
Not really, you can safely eat nothing for an entire month
It is, the trick is it’s easier said than done for people.
It’s tricky to require your brain and overhaul your habits.
I say this as someone who also has lost 25 lbs. there’s a reason people refer to it as a journey.
I say this less to diminish your point and more for support of others who are going through this thinking “man this is impossible but everyone makes it sound easy”. It’s not. It’s a marathon not a sprint.
Lots of things are easy to do once, but doing them continuously for as long as necessary is extremely hard.
That being said I was starving for like two weeks but eventually I found I can’t eat that much anymore and it got easier.
The one that gets me is switching from full sugar to diet sodas. Having a full sugar soda now tastes like I’m being face fucked with syrup. That one’s hard to go back.
I gave up soda entirely and now I can’t drink any of it. It tastes like fizzy battery acid to me.
It's simple math, burn more than what goes in. No tricks, no fad diets, no regimen, eat less, do more.
Yep. And the last time I did this I helped by keeping my house around 50 degrees all the time. I figure if we spend most of our energy keeping warm then making that harder would burn more calories.
