The Flame-Free Confession Thread II

I have been a big advocate of calling this the REAL paleo diet.

Imagine the food choices paleo man would make in 2020. He would set up some sort of Hun camp in Vegas and raid buffets nightly.

Side note: somehow my paleo man skipped many eons and became Atilla the Hun. These things happen.

According to your definition, I’m very American as well

Aaaand now after reading this comment I’m not American anymore, but I’m a dagill.

Couldn’t have put it any better. I don’t care for sweets but I love basically everything else that’s edible lol

I love rice and pesto. Give me a bowl if it any day.

And pasta. And buffets of any kind. And trail mixes. And chocolate milk. And beer.

Not all together, though.

If the goal is gaining muscle, it’ll be harder if eating food is hard. I’m a lifelong sufferer of this. I can cut down alright but building muscle requires me shoveling food with urgency. I’ve probably increased my stomach’s distensibility from years of eating til I was uncomfortably full, but it’s still hard for me to meet my macros most days.

@Frank_C, @flappinit, yeah, I’m not in a rush. I just found it funny I think those things. I’m taking it slow. I think one limiting factor right now is stress. The stress of board exams and other things really take away from my appetite. But yeah, thanks for the advice!

Eating bigger meals was the key for me, and snacking less. I found that made me hungrier, where as before I would eat slightly smaller meals and a snack in between, that made the second meal much harder to eat. Moving what ever snack I had planned to be eaten with the actual meal instead and giving me a longer time for my appetite to come back.

I thought this was just a normal way to eat.

Luckily I’m back in the swing of things and I’m embracing hunger as progress. I guess it’s more tolerable when you’re looking for physical changes compared to being hungry for maintenance.

Im definitely of the opinion that diet hunger is easier to handle than maintenance hunger.

I hadn’t realized this until this week. I quit tracking my food and weight in September because I was tired of being hungry and OCD about it. I was in maintenance mode from May til then. I hated it.

Now I’m trying to shed a few lbs and I find myself perfectly okay with the hunger.

I don’t know what that instant coffee is called freeze dried I think. Anyway, I hadn’t had that stuff for a decade and just considered it quite terrible.

Had some today and I thought it was pretty good haha

Not sure if anyone else gets those ads for the imitation Hypervolt massage guns on their IG feeds but about a month ago I bought one impulsively from a company called Booster Gun. Read reviews online and they were all good, including third party reviews, but after not receiving it a month later I’m thinking the link I followed on IG and bought from was a fake.

My confession is that I feel like an idiot because I’m 26 and I thought only Boomers and old people (whatever their generation is called) got scammed online.

I always seem to make serious mass gains when I increase my consumption of chocolate.

In fact, I would say that chocolate is superior to squats and milk for gaining mass.

I love coffee however getting a nice cup requires a certain amount of faffing about.

After a while you realise that instant provides that hit you need and it’s all about functionality

I gambled $15 on supplements awhile back. Everything was free for your first order. I knew it was probably a scam, but Ioaded up my cart. It was a risk but my winnings would’ve been way more than I bet - and that’s the only way you can beat the house.

This reminds of the scene in Nightmare on Elm Street when the girl is sitting there eating instant coffee with a spoon and washing it down with Pepsi (I think) to stay awake.
