    GP1s. You eat a bit of shit. But not too much. Then you’re like, huh I want some real food. And then you’re done for the day. Two days later, you’re like, poop please leave my body so I can eat a little bit more shit. Maybe you throw up a box of pop-tarts.

    Then you notice the muscle loss and you’re like, no more shit, only real food, and more workout. Real food is easier to eat because your sugar cravings decrease.

    I grew up watching people shame spiral while ordering Ab-Rollers. It was not pretty. This isn’t ideal but we have to acknowledge we’re all addicts.

    Alter your perception. If the inability to walk up a flight of stairs and being a guy with bigger tits than his wife is perfect in your eyes then perfection is found by washing down a bag of chips with a milkshake

    Intermittent fasting means I eat like a fat piece of shit for hours a day and still can maintain or lose

    Dr Fung’s book is where to get started

    You can eat as shitty as you like, you just need to make sure you burn the calories.

    You can spend an hour on a bike/running and burn getting close to a thousand calories. Lifting is more like half that, but has the benefit of increasing your metabolism over time

      The phrase “you can’t outrun a bad diet” exists for a reason. If you are not already doing lots of sports your body simply cannot handle the 1-2 hours if intense activity every day to burn off that caramel latte and bag of chips. Then, when you do get to the level where you can do lots of sports, you will notice a bad diet impacts your progress and recovery and you are stuck eating a lot, but mostly healthy food.

      mine says it’s 500 cals. Which is basically a fancy, regular sized sandwich

        If I run for a full hour it’s about 800 calories, which gets me like six oreos and a glass of whole milk, which is all I want! Eat well all day, exercise, and snack at night. Just gotta run 8 miles.
