Most of us do, or have. I have been addicted to food multiple times in my life. I always cut out eating out first. Then cut out the junk food at home as well, after a week or so.

@@namepending155 This tactic is amazing for a lot of your thoughts. Its amazing that once you write your thoughts out about how stupid, illogical and straight bad your ideas often are.

I’ve been googling Matt Stonie videos every time I want to eat something unhealthy. I either eat vicariously through him or tell myself that I don’t want to feel that way.
My issue is weekends. I had to start taking control and I would start my cheat food on Sunday because I will control myself because the next morning I know I go for a difficult run.
I strayed so far off the path, getting my bodyweight back up to 131kg (and a huge loss of muscle mass). Decided to get back into training and discovered Jockos podcast at the same time. I've lost almost 3 stone (18kg) and I started running. I could only manage 1100m, then the next day 1400m and the third day, 2500m. I've had a rest day, listened to this and now I'm heading back to the gym and going for 3000m. Working towards getting my bodyweight under 100kg. Thank you Jocko!
Sat at 116kg at the moment, but body fat has dropped, massive muscle mass increase, bench press up to 175kg, and making good progress. Stay blessed all 💪
Bravo! Keep it up brah! I just got back in the gym too and getting stronger everyday. As an American it was funny reading your comment and thinking, I wonder how much he weighs and how far he ran 😂
That's the way to do it. I eat clean m-f . Allow myself a cheat meal Saturday and a dinner with the family Sunday . It has worked for me . Also if I know I'm going out in gonna hit the stair machine for 15-30 minutes to burn off that extra 300 calories . It's worked for me for 2 years so far
@regular_dude it's not . For people who have lost weight or struggle with being addicted to food like myself it's the only way to live a healthy clean life . You get used to it. Plus your taste buds adjust so most healthy meals taste good eventually anyways
I always imagine myself as Rorschach. The chips looks up and say "help us, eat us, please!". Then I look down at them and say "No." - with a squinty face. It honestly works for me haha.
I’ve learned just how disciplined I can be. I gave up alcohol 8 years ago which a little hard lol. So after doing healthy eating meal plans delivered to my door, hoping for a magical fix I decided to go back to basics and quit trying to fool myself. I abolished added sugars from anything I eat, I just eat whole foods nothing processed. I eat smaller portions of mainly veg and some meat, I don’t get all wierd about food anymore. Losing weight rapidly and walkimg each day helps tone,e up. If we have a celebration yeah I might have a small piece of cake but I don’t go crazy because I know how my body will react later. Good chat guys!
I eat one scoop of ice cream after dinner every night. Like, I take a tablespoon and grab 1 spoon of it. (a pint will last several weeks) Pretty much satisfies all my cravings
Lol I was preparing breakfast and I was saying to myself “I wonder what food would do Jocko in” this was hilarious to hear. I’m glad he obviously admits that he’s human and loves sugar too. Mint chocolate chip ice cream milkshakes sound great
Something that works for me sometimes is when you get the urge to do something bad, eat food, drink alcohol, smoke etc enter a mediation esque zone where you don’t fight that craving but you observe it from a outside perspective, hard to explain but once you try it you get what I mean

@@megapet777 I'm all about health and that is true...to a point. There are some truly unhealthy mfs who live well into their 90s. It's not about quantity, it's about quality.
I went sooo long without eating sugary stuff that the thought of eating it would temporarily put me in a bad, unenthusiastic mood and almost make me feel like i had a headache coming on. All i drank was water no juices. I got my sugar from eating fruit only. Once i started eating junk, that whole deal unravelled FAST and i found myself suddenly craving sugar. it took about 48 hours for all those YEARS of being repulsed by sugar to 180 itself. I dont think i can ever go back to those old days of hating sugar now because im almost 40, but the times that i truly hated the thought of eating sugary food, was between the ages of 18, when i started lifting and eating high protein and only wholesome meals, until the age of about 33. 15 years of no sugar. At about 25 i started really hating the thought of eating it. So maybe 7 years to de-program my brain's sugar craving.
I find I feel really good after a cheat day. I don't think I starve myself or anything- but the insane surplus of everything after a day of binge eating disgusting foods feel so good. Especially working out and running.
100% I took a trip to Denver about a month ago. I had a hotel room with fridge, stove, dishes so forth. Plan was to grab groceries and eat clean through my time there. I was there for an audio festival, and ended up eating out with friends 2 too many times. A month later I've slid down that slope. Time to snap back.

At 6'3" and 160lbs. I eat what I like, but I also make sure I eat nutrient dense foods as well. If I eat some potato chips, and then I also eat some broccoli and drink some V8 juice. Eat some Ice Cream, then I also eat some peanut butter.
From personal experience loosing close to 50 pounds. Cravings don’t go away. But the drive to achieve your goal will be a stronger craving if you truly want it
I did a 4 day fast earlier this year, felt totally normal on the last day i only broke the fast because i had to teach a children's class the next morning and I knew they would sense my drop in energy and rip me apart haha kids are like sharks they can smell the blood in the water.
It appears, to me, that people that eat exceptionally clean refer to chips as “POTATOE chips” As though they’re so unfamiliar with normal chip eating behaviour that they don’t actually know the word for it
Finally, Jocko said it, "I am not a human". Given his work spreading knowledge to the people he spent a career protecting, could he in fact be a guardian angel?
I try to maintain a disciplined and balanced daily routine. However, on the days that I give in to tempting gratification, I also brainwash myself into believing that I'm ingesting extra energy. The day after always means extra roadwork ( a daily necessity that I hate), compound exercises plus super sets at the gym, which, for me, is a killer. Then I remember that I brought it all on myself because I gave in to temptation.
Make your bed in the morning. That way you set yourself up to accomplish more tasks in the day. Don't give in to the temptation of cheating. That way you shield yourself from future temptations. If you give in even momentarily, you have to treat it like you treated it the first time you decided to get your shit together.
I use to have 3 day cheat days, fri - sun, it was insane. Friday was glutton day and the weekend was left over ice cream or other junk. I was even beginning to let it seep into Thursday night as well, thinking "oh it's almost Friday anyways..." I honestly don't know what I was thinking. Now I have an ice cream allowance once a week, which is much more reasonable. what's interesting to note is, even with the dramatically reduced junk food intake, and increased exercise, I'm really not losing that much more weight... In fact, I feel like I had an easier time losing weight before, it honestly doesn't make any sense to me.
I did 72 hrs, had one bowl of Cheerios the 4th day, then did another 72 hours. Total was one bowl of Cheerios over 7 days. Hiked and worked out the whole time. Drank a ton of water. Lost 8 pounds. Felt great. Challenging week, though.
That's a really good mindset. Hey, I like a little ice cream now and then but I know I need to work it off later. Accountability for action. Good stuff.
"Disciplined decisions, create more disciplined decisions." That one's worth its own video.
So imporTANT. It also means the opposite is true; one undisciplined decision often leads to many more (the slippery slope).
The best. 🙏🏻
That is a very true statement every discipline action and decision strengthens every future decision
