Agree and if you have read the entire thread you will have learned to bake potato then cool in fridge as that turns some of the starch into fibre then reheat (post 25). No biggie just cook a week supply of pasta, potato, rice and store in fridge actually makes cooking quicker and easier. So far, best tip of thread

I asked ChatGPS
Start meals with protein not salad as protein satiates you faster
Drink water before meal
The fibre thing with veggies and whole grain as fibre fills you up
My thought is mix some dietary calorie free fibre with water before meal so I asked ChatGPS and they said YES. Use metamusil as it is psyllium and it makes you full quicker and slows metabolism which prevents glucose spikes
Not into exercise ? just do some short bursts even if it is walking
Mindful eating
Good sleep as lack of sleep makes you eat more due to hormones and metabolism is not as good

I don’t think there are any secrets here: don’t eat anything with a list of ingredients, just eat whole unprocessed foods. Greek yogurt, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, cashews, almonds, sunflower seeds, hemp seeds, chia seeds, beef, lamb, chicken, duck, tuna, salmon, lobster, sushi…. If you eat real food you’ll never even need a gym. I’ve gone from 330 to 165lbs, it took over 5 years lol ok yes it’s a slow burn, I probably could have expedited the process by using a gym but that’s just not how I want to spend my time. I had an addiction to processed food and fast food and I was depressed and hated myself. I didn’t even change how much I ate, I still ate as much as I wanted but it wasn’t cheeseburgers Mr sub pizza and fruitopia, I stopped that shit cold turkey. I was a fucking adult eating fruit by the foot. I was retarded. Totally lost on life’s other paths I just let my diet and self esteem go completely around high school and I peaked at 330 in my 20s. My dick was a joke, sex wasn’t an option because I was a mess. But it was 100% diet. Not trendy fad diets. Just eating real shit. I figured if I could afford to pay for sex I could afford to pay for real food. Real foods expensive. Very expensive lol but if you eat real nutrient dense whole foods your body just stays fuelled and satiated. Now I’ve been stable for a while. My body has adapted. Life is better
Congratulations on all the progress. I heard a saying the other day that reminds me of this. Nothing tastes as good as being healthy feels.
I realize I didn’t list any vegetables… they would be included. Seems oddly intentional but it wasn’t. Vegetables are great lol
What's the sugar content on them ice cream? i love ice cream but very weary of sugar content. i'm not diabetic...My two favourite low calorie snacks

Smart pop + Kernals white cheddar seasoning

I also love Halo Top ice cream not necessarily cheap but the calories are good I usually have a pint or two ready in my freezer for my late night binges
Btw this is an amazing thread idea lol I’m always on the look out for quick healthy snacks
ACTUALLY, they aren't as great as we've been led to believe. Don't get me wrong, I love vegetables but once I learned that they contain oxalic acid which can cause kidney stones and other health issues I reduced my intake drastically. Another huge concern is the fact that glyphosate is used on practically every agricultural crop that is not organic. It doesn't matter how healthy something is if you sprinkle rat poison on it the health benefits become moot.
I did a quick google search and it says that a single serving should have about 6-8 grams of sugar
that is actually pretty good.I did a quick google search and it says that a single serving should have about 6-8 grams of sugar
Is that too much or pretty low? Will try this icecreamI did a quick google search and it says that a single serving should have about 6-8 grams of sugar
I hate to be the bearer of bad news as thread got me believing this was an amazing idea but I looked it up and it is not. It is a tweak
When pasta is cooked and then cooled (especially for 24 hours or more), a process called starch retrogradation occurs. This transforms some of the digestible starches into resistant starch
Yields fewer calories (about 2.5 calories per gram vs. 4 calories per gram for regular starch)
This doesn’t make pasta a “low-calorie” food — it just makes it slightly less caloric and metabolically gentler than freshly cooked pasta.
Reality check : It’s a tweak, but not a magic bullet.
I like the idea of Konjac spaghetti so I tried it. Konjac does not have the consistently of wheat spaghetti so I mix it which reduces calories by half.
Also mix with spaghettified zucchini
Create a substitue for tomato sauce .
nutritional yeast instead of cheese sounds intriquing
White potatoes on their own are perfectly fine; skip the butter if you want to cut fat and extra calories. They’re filling, a solid source of carbs, and can absolutely fit into a balanced diet. At the end of the day, weight loss or gain boils down to one thing: calories in versus calories out. Stay under your maintenance calories and you’ll lose weight; go over and you’ll gain. It doesn’t matter if those calories come from potatoes, rice, or donuts; the principle still applies. The difference is that whole foods like potatoes keep you fuller and fuel you better than junk, which makes sticking to your plan a whole lot easier.
Substitute for tomato sauce to reduce calories
Anyone got ideas ?
Pesto
Pumpkin puree with cinamon and broth
Carrot puree
Anyone got ideas ?
- Mix garlic, and fresh herbs like parsley or thyme with lemon juice or olive oil

Chia seeds are calorie dense
- High in fiber: Keeps you full longer and helps regulate blood sugar.
- Rich in omega-3s: Supports heart health and reduces inflammation.
- Good protein source: Helps preserve muscle while losing fat.
Cardio in a fasted state in the morning (preferably) and then Intm Fasting/Time-restricted eating. Don't eat until 3/4pm or later once you get better at it.
Remember to keep water/electrolyte intake up.1 Coffee during day (stop caffeine around 12/1pm). Drink 2.0+ Litres of water during the day.
Make sure you get enough protein when you break your fast. And don't eat too fast (my vice) and try to take your time with the food. I typically eat a larger mel around 4:30-6pm and then a greek yogurt+blueberries+honey (or avocado/cottage cheese) around 7:30-8pm and then I'm DONE.
STOP SNACKING LATE. It's the worst.
