Cutting sucks

I never understood why all the gym people I see in work seem to eat food with the flavour removed, like some paprika or pepper might ruin everything.
wrote last edited by [email protected]I have eaten like this before. Food is fuel and construction material. I need the nutrition to operate my body. Nothing more. The less I think about what it tastes like the more I can think about it as numbers on a spreadsheet.
That being said if I were OP I'd invest in a slow cooker and yes, some paprika. Maybe some dehydrated garlic, cumin, and cayenne as well. This exact dish would be much more appealing if the chicken were shredded and it was in a bowl on top of the rice and broccoli.
Edit: also that's nowhere near enough broccoli

Saaaaame. I will feed you good healthy food and it won't even be sxpensive. I'll show you how to make it. Fuck, i'll show you how to put a couple pots and a grow light in your kitchen so you always have some fucking electrolyte heavy veggies to snack on.
Love it! I have some seeds, but I have yet to grow them. Some heirloom white habaneros and blackberries, etc.

Seriously. And you will very quickly get used to it. Like you wouldn't believe what happened to me when I started making red lentil dal on the regular, but after a while, my bowel movements went back to regular and no more "ring of fire."
LOL, nah. (I'm actually giggling.) Ed was 50 at the time, had IBS or something.
And yes, practice makes perfect! I eat peppers that would make a billy goat puke, no problem.
Wife and I were at the Mexican joint Friday night and I was scarfing the homemade hot salsa, the kind you have to ask for. "You are drinking that!" Another time she accidentally stuck her chip in and got it in her mouth. Coughing and crying so hard I was worried for her heart condition. Good times.

That's... exactly what I said? You need to burn more calories than you consume. But that means putting in the work to do so.
I think the person you're replying to is arguing that whilst exercise can have myriad health benefits, that when it comes to weight loss, it's more practical to focus on one's diet. I also hold that view, and it seems to be the consensus amongst weight loss specialists. You can't outrun a bad diet when the difficulty of burning calories is so much higher than the ease of consuming calories. If someone who wanted to lose weight was going to focus on either changing their diet, or increasing their activity level, then diet is the sensible choice.
Of course, framing it like that is a bit of a false dichotomy, because the health benefits associated with exercise are so significant that I've seen some research that suggests it may be healthier to be fat and fit than to be at a healthy weight and unfit/sedentary. Personally, I struggled with disordered eating for many years, but I was finally able to lose weight in a healthy way after I started powerlifting. The impact was mostly one of morale: whilst the increased muscle mass and activity level increased the number of maintenance calories I needed, it wasn't too huge of an impact when compared to how much I was eating before. What actually changed was how I felt about my body, and how I thought about food, as well as my overall energy levels.

Ah, depression.
Which came first, the eating disorder or the depression?

I live in the netherlands rn and basically at some point in history there was a guy called Calvin who convinced almost everybody to see food this way. To this day traditional dutch food is the blandest, saddest assortment of dishes imaginable. Thank god for immigrants bringing in some flavour.

I think depression? Like, whenever I have a depressive episode, I turn into a slop eating bastard, who goes 22hrs without eating and then overeats within minutes. And bland food as a form of self punishment is also a thing.

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
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.

Ed needs to suck it up for the sake of all that is Mexican.

Ah, depression.
My depression is the opposite, cooking and baking fatty foods and eating it all

The cut would be more successful with more broccoli and no rice, IMO. I’ve had decent success with eliminating all carbs and starches. But for god’s sake use some fucking spices

Bro is fucking living in China during the famine, what the fuck
A whole chicken breast during a famine? That sounds luxurious. I was under the impression that animal protein was incredibly rare.

You know there's no calories in normal seasoning?
Tasty food gives dopamine. Dopamine gives you motivation to do stuff.
You're just unnecessarily doing it on hard mode without at least some pepper
Edit: also halve the rice and triple the broccoli

Everyone has different nutritional needs. If you're doing chicken broccoli rice, it's probably because it's much easier to measure out an exact amount of macronutrients to fit your needs and fill up the rest on broccoli to make it as satiating as needed.

Just smear some herring on it

Are you taking this picture from your bunker?
This is the most depressing lighting I've ever seen.
Seriously, it looks like your taking this picture from The Backrooms.
On a cut like this you dont want to actually see your food.

my brother in Christ, the blitz is over, the bombs have stopped - you no longer have to eat like this
Hail Satan.

Mental illness is a struggle we all must face at some point my brother

It's like 5 calories of broccoli with all those nutrients, but like 350 of basically empty carbs.
More like 40 but same difference

That's the coping mechanism, effective or otherwise, not the depression.

Long pig comes into season eventually
