Dude, that plate is upside down! The vegetables! So much carbs!
Cutting what? Money? Flavor? Health? Or happiness?
Gymbro bodysculpt enthusiasts are wild. They won’t have tasty meals because they don’t want food to be associated with pleasure, only fuel.
Maybe it works, maybe its a clever brain hack, but I suspect its from the same pseuds that brought us nofap
Theres a gym bro at my work who eats the same meals everyday. Its something like plain oatmeal, protein shake, boiled chicken, greek yogurt. Every day, no seasoning, all plain and boring. He was complaining to me that he has to almost force himself to eat sometimes and im just thinking like “yeah no shit, you eat wall paste every meal”.
I mean i meal prep my lunches, been over 10 years, updated it once recently. Rice, refried black beans, corn, sweet onion, green pepper. Everyday for lunch. I think it’s tasty and being able to eat the same thing everyday for years is what makes me a great partner lol
the difference there is that you think it tastes good, if it just keeps tasting good every time you eat it then yeah why stop?
You know there’s no calories in normal seasoning?
Tasty food gives dopamine. Dopamine gives you motivation to do stuff.
You’re just unnecessarily doing it on hard mode without at least some pepper
Edit: also halve the rice and triple the broccoli
It’s like 5 calories of broccoli with all those nutrients, but like 350 of basically empty carbs.
This picture oozes such self-loathing it’s concerning.
When you’re a fatty, loathing is at an all time high. I was never fat, but I’ve lost 20 lbs since February eating pretty similar to this
If you were never fat, why are you trying to lose 20+ pounds?
I was 6 ft and 200 lbs. Not obese by any stretch. Trying to lose the dad bod and get back to where I was before I retired from field work.
My goal is to actually be leaner than that, now that I actually have time to pay attention to fitness and diet.
I never understood why all the gym people I see in work seem to eat food with the flavour removed, like some paprika or pepper might ruin everything.
From personal experience its because we like food way to much. Its harder to eat less when the food tastes good. I found it was much easier when I treated food like an activity I had to force myself to do. I’d just cook some meat and boil some mixed veggies and then force it down. I was eating like 200-500g of pasta and almost a kg of food for dinner I felt so fucking sick after every meal.
At that point even if I seasoned the chicken I was so sick of it that I would still not enjoy it.
i’m very confused as to what point you’re making here, first you seem to say you want to eat less and then you seem to say you wanted to eat way way more than a normal portion?
Because i was training a lot at the time i had to eat a lot more to not lose weight. But also when I’m cutting and want to lose weight the same applies. I just dont want to see eating as an enjoyable activity or its all that will be on my mind.
When I’m not training for something i dont mind eating normal portions of well prepared meals but I still dont put that much effort in when cooking for myself

And this is why a lot of fit people have terrible eating disorders. Don’t do this.
I’d rather have an eating disorder when I’m choosing to eat clean healthy food in the exact amount i want than eating to much unhealthy food and being unable to control my weight.
However i dont class that as an eating disorder. Its fine to make the choice to put minimal effort into food. Especially when it becomes such an unenjoyable part of the day. And you have to eat big to get big 💪

There is a big gap between eating like shit and putting some pepper on your chicken. If you literally can’t control yourself around food that is a problem and creating unhealthy eating habits to avoid that problem isn’t the solution… Unless you plan on forcing yourself to eat flavourless food for the rest of your life.
However i dont class that as an eating disorder.
It is, and it only gets worse the longer you do it; please find a healthier solution before a bad habit becomes a full blown disorder.

Again putting seasoning on your food isn’t a complicated process, and forcing yourself to eat flavourless food every single day is definitely unhealthy. If you really struggle with self control around food then speak with someone about that problem instead; imagine eating tasty, healthy food in moderation.
I cook well if I’m wanting to cook a nice meal, however thats not what’s happening here I’m just trying to hit my macros for the day. A bit of salt or pepper isnt going to do shit to improve the meal. Its not even flavourless, it tastes like chicken and veggies. If I dont care about the meal why should i waste any extra time preparing the meal?
When I’m trying to maintain weight then I can enjoy food and eat normally. But cutting/bulking you got to be strict otherwise youre just dragging things out longer than they need to be. When you have fat person eating habits your entire life requires an eating disorder to counteract it.
speak with someone about that
Psy op advice. There is absolutely nothing a shrink could say that would stop me from demolishing an XL pizza in one sitting.
