Every diet can be cheated.
Calorie restriction: you need to track calories accurately (you lie about everything). You can also be lazier and burn less calories and you can’t really track how much you burn.
Keto/Carnivore/Vegan: limiting the type of food means nothing since you can just eat more of it. I remember doing keto and would just eat half a block of cheese and jerky.
Intermittent fasting: restricting the time you eat can work except when you just pound down a ton of food in your 8 hour window.
The point is: you’re a cheater. You’ll find ways to get around anything. Diets can work. They all work in theory. You can lose weight on a juice cleanse. You can lose weight eating McDonald’s. You can have a diet of only vodka Red Bulls and Cheetos. You can eat once a day. You can only eat steaks. They all work and they all fail.
There’s only one diet that can’t fail.
What are we actually trying to achieve here?
Making the scale go down and losing fat.
Weigh yourself. (200)
Okay. You want to be 180? Take 10 weeks to get there. That’s 2lbs a week.
Each week, you set a weight limit. 198,196,etc.
You are simply not allowed to eat when you are above your weight limit.
You can eat anything.
Anytime.
But you only have to follow a simple rule. There’s no way to cheat. You can dump water weight, sure, that’s not a problem, you’ll still have your lower weight limit next week.
It’s the simple, no tracking, non limiting, only way to actually guarantee you’ll lose weight.
It’s not a problem to fast for a day. We are made to do that. And when you fast for a day, you’re sure to lose 2 lbs easy. The rest of the week is just keeping at or under that weight. If you go above, no food until it’s back under the limit.
It’s easy, there’s no rationalization. There’s nothing to cheat on. You’re either allowed to eat, or you haven’t earned it yet.
Don’t over complicate shit.
