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
It's so insane to me because i've trained myself to be quite in tune with my body's needs.
Turns out animals are evolved to seek out the food they need to function and thus we have the ability to actually enjoy healthy food and even get cravings for things with the specific nutrients we need at that point in time.
Thinking that food shouldn't be pleasurable is like thinking that a well-functioning diesel engine should be making horrid grinding noises and intermittently release smoke from the gaskets..
If you just stop eating so much sugar and as much as possible try to cook things from scratch, or at least eat things where you know precisely what ingredients are in it and how it would have been prepared, you should be able to regain the proper feedback from your gut and have a very healthy relationship to food.
I'd also recommend as often as possible trying to wait to eat until you're really hungry so you can calibrate your sense of hunger (but like, be smart about it, make sure to eat something if you're gonna do stuff that needs calories and stable blood sugar levels), and try to taste everything once so your body can associate that thing with the nutrients in it.
Also also try to sneak in vegetables into every meal in some way, even if it's just adding 2 peas or whatever. That'll psychologically and physically normalize it, so you start wanting it more. Your gut flora is a pretty significant part of what decides your cravings and if you consistently eat something the gut flora will change to things that like digesting those things and thus make you crave them more.
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?
See, that makes sense to me. Its not like your eating that for every meal so you still get variety. And you don't have to think about lunch when getting ready for work/school or whatnot.
Meh. Everything in moderation. Including self-imposed suffering. Sleep late. Eat tasty food. Have days where you just exist. Fuel is for cars.
vroom vroom
It does make those cheat days 100x more special though.
but like, every day can be cheat day if you just make healthy food that tastes good..
and not only is that obviously more enjoyable, but it means there's 0 temptation to slip back into bad habits because the good habits are self-reinforcing, half the reason i enjoy exercise is because i know it means i can eat more delicious food.
Sounds like self-inflicted stockholm syndrome, tbh.
