Sounds simple, logical and doable on paper. So is quitting smoking, jacking off, and not getting soft playing a tough battle of WoW!
Some of the less stronk mere mortals can improve their lives dramatically with a $10 a day medication.
Obviously!
I never said it was simple logical and doable. Junk food for me calls to me like crack.If it was easy I'd be under 200 pounds and I am not. I've done better than most but still. It's fucking hard to resist. I'm just saying if you can find a hack to do it, it is doable, it will be harder for some than others, but it is possible. There is this narrative that the fat acceptance movement [the one movement that involves no actual movement] that some people just can't lose weight no matter what, it's biochemically impossible. I'd bet dollars to sweet delicious donuts <homer slobber> that pulled a Bobby Sands they would lose weight, not that I would recommend that.
Nor am I arguing against taking meds or the knife because it is fucking difficult to diet and exercise and a serious issue the latter of which I do suffer from.
Not sure what is worse, the can't win don't try sorts or those people on the other end you give that Running Faggot from Kids in the Hall advice of, have you tried eating less and moving more. Yeah that would work obviously but the devil is in the details of how to do it and keep doing it.
Personally I find the only thing that works is to take the AA model [without the higher power bullshit] and apply it to food and treat it as the addiction that it most likely is for us tubby bitches. Problem foods need to go on the never again pile. Foods that you just can't control, or foods that set off a spiral of bad eating. What ever those foods might be.
However the prospect of never eating cake, or bacon is very hard to get your head around, much like an alchie who says they will never take another drink. Generally you will fail and have to try again and more than once.
Fuck I want a pizza right now.
There are other hacks, limit eating by dietary restriction which is similar to the above, vegans, keto etc, or limit consumption via eating windows which has no magical powers beyond calorie restriction which is shown if you read the details that fasting fanboys often share but obviously haven't read the deets on. Or maybe just hire some 300 pound muscle bound MMA dude to punch you in the face whenever you eat beyond a certain amount every day, that works well I hear.
