Seriously:
This thread could potentially change your life, if you understand it and actually implement it (gradually).
If you fail to do this, you'll never adhere to your diet long-term.
You'll always mess up.
More:
You will hate being in a deficit.
You will always view dieting as painful & restrictive.
You will stay above 20% bf forever.
And it's because the amount of will power required to even lose a few pounds will be astronomical.

Number 1 - Knock Your Eating Window Down To 8 Hours Or Less
It's simply amazing how full you become when you only have 4-8 hrs to eat 2000 kcals.
Here's a different one:
This means foods that take up a lot of space.
Think:
1000 calories of veggies, or salad, versus 1000 calories of McDonalds. Which one expands the stomach more?
Exactly.
The former would be VERY hard to achieve, the latter is TOO easy..
Liquid calories are not going to keep you full for long, end of story.
Think: Orange juice vs 2-3 oranges. Big difference.
Think: Steak vs protein shake.
Solid foods stay in you for longer, and keep you full for longer...
I know, I know. You don't like the sound of that. But bear with me.
This super-simple logic is:
If you eat insanely tasty food, you want more insanely tasty food.
Eat grim food, you don't want more.
Now, I'M NOT saying:
No, no, no.
I eat tasty stuff (but it's also volumous, high protein etc.)
But I am saying that you need to be aware of this very simple logic - if it tastes really good, you're probably gonna want more.
Next:
You don't need this for muscle maintenance, no.
But staying full and satisfied in a calorie deficit?
YES!
Protein is THE MOST satiating macro.
This means more meat, more eggs, more fish, protein shakes (but keeping #3 in mind).
#6:
The Carnivore Diet is very trendy atm.
Meat is great.
But not eating veggies is daft:
GET BOTH!
The extra fiber is going to make you fuller for very few calories. You're missing out if you refuse to eat fruit and veg.
E.g:
FULLNESS
From a mere 100-300 calories of broccoli, kale, spinach etc., that it makes it insane to skip.
Apples, berries and oranges are similar in this regard.
Eat your damn fruit & veggies.
Next:
It will expand your stomach, making you less likely to overeat at the meal.
ESPECIALLY important when you're eating out and don't want to blow it.
Your stomach expands, and your brain thinks:
"Oh I'm not THAT hungry"
#8:
There is a 'delay effect' when it comes to staying full.
Your brain doesn't really acknowledge the existence of all the new food FULLY until about 20 minutes or so.
Take your time.
You are way less likely to go overboard within 10 mins if you do this...
Stimulants work. End of story.
Coffee will make you less hungry, plus it also conditions your taste buds to not want sweet stuff (due to the bitterness).
Dual benefits.
Get on it.
Final point:
