Intermittent fasting. 16:8 protocol. Put some fucking discipline in your life. Hit the gym. Fill your fridge with steak chicken broccoli.

GO TO BED EARLY. Get up early and do your work out. Make your day count straight away.

Do not play video games. "Just five more minutes" for four hours stops you cooking properly.

Be a fucking man.

Keep doing it.

Keep fucking doing it.

If you KEEP FUCKING DOING IT you will start seeing change in your body.

Keep. Fucking. Doing it.

You will see more change in your body. You will start liking what you see in the mirror. And that will drive you further.

Stop being a fucking pussy man fat video playing lazy fucktard.

A lot of it’s self confidence. When you feel high and believe you could attain a good body you eat clean to work towards it. But then you see the bad food at a low moment and you lose the self belief and it becomes a cycle.

Try keeping a schedule too. Live by the routine and make it your life. That’s what gets done. Plan your meals 3 days or a week ahead and chow down. Everything logged and checked for self-accountability.

If you want it enough - this should be enough.

Cook your own meals. Learn how to make sauces and use seasonings to make food taste better. Once you’re good at that, you can cook in bulk and have healthy meals ready ahead of time and you’ll actually want to eat it.

If you want abs, eat right and track your calories. Stop buying unhealthy food. What it took for me to keep it up is seeing pictures of my stomach chub and being disgusted. Now I'm on cut and am doing intermittent fasting to control my appetite. Ultimately though, no one can motivate you but yourself so if you want to lose weigh and better yourself, no one is going to coddle you and force you to go to the gym if you don't wanna do it yourself.

Learn to cook. Food doesn’t have to taste bad. Properly cooked rice tastes a lot better than you would imagine, and most spices are 0 cal.

I had the exact same problem for years. Firstly no shit food in the house. Secondly I do the slow carb diet by Tim Ferris that allows one day a week you can go wild and eat whatever you want, so you are just delaying gratification a bit. Finally I really changed my mindset and decided I had to be the best I can be in life. I have lost over 50lbs and kept it off. I am fairly lean now. 35 years old.

Hey man I've struggled with the exact same sort of cycle you described. What helps me is changing my view of food. Try reading into nutrition and clean eating if you haven't. You can eat way more food if you eat clean. (Personally I follow clean keto diet, paleo is also good) Also a 48-72 hour fast can kinda 'clean' out your system and helps with hunger/regulating your appetite.

Fast food, sugar and the like is poison. The caloric amount per tiny serving allows one to eat a massive amount of nutrient deficient crap in one sitting. It literally gets you high. You can have one donut, or 4 cups of spinach. Would anyone eat 16 cups of spinach? Then why are you eating 4 fucking donuts?

A nutritionist told me once, the carbs in our processed food are more addictive than heroine. This may or may not be true^{^} The point is...change your view of what you're consuming, it WILL give you motivation to eat healthier.

Fasting helps with all this too, you'll realize you might be eating out of habit rather than hunger. Try a 48 or 72 hour fast. When it gets difficult to not eat, look at it as drug withdrawals and push through. It does get better and your baseline appetite changes.

I stopped craving the crap as much after I stuck with my diet for a week. I still get tempted. But I know that the trade off for that chocolate chip cookie, or that taco bell, just isn't worth how shitty it'll make me feel in the end. I'm only on day eight of my diet myself. But I've lost 6 pounds, and I feel so much better. The longer you go the better you'll feel.

It all starts with one good choice. Start stacking them bricks! Hope something in my wall of text helps, and good luck!

Just don't eat shifty foods man. It's not that complicated. How do you avoid getting 3rd degree burns?

What really motivates me to eat well maintained clean diet is the fact i do mma. I physically can not function in training if i had a mcdonalds feast. Or anything processed. Plus i have to maintain my weight.

Another great motivation factor is I want to promote a healthy lifestyle for my 2 younger siblings. Commute to college and still at home.

Speaking from past experience a year ago eating fast food for lunch and take out for dinner was the norm monday through friday. Id be having something like 2 big macs and a large fry for lunch and a large pizza for dinner for myself not including my siblings. My mom was always too lazy to cook and rather order out for convience and send me to pick it up. On the weekends my dad would cook when he is home from work. Mind you got the skinny asian genes so everyone in my family is just skin and bones to slightly skinny fat even with that diet.

Then the change happened i was just tired of the current way of life. It made a lazy slob.

I started to learn how to cook. Started to go grocery shopping every sunday. Cleared the fridge of anything super processed. Made a meal plan for the whole week, breakfast lunch, dinner Started prepping and portioning out food for everyday of the week.

Sooner or later i couldnt go back to my old diet of processed bullshit. I tried a mcChicken and felt horrible.

My sister(12) then got involved and became my sous chef. After she realized hey if i eat good i feel energetic and overall better. Not when eating a 20pc nugget and large fry. I knew she took it serious after i took her out to buy a lunch box and containers and she still made her meals for lunch at school everday for 2 months straight. (Still going strong)

Sadly My brother(15) to stubborn to change still at his computer desk and eating fast food.

Remember this did not happen over night it took little by little to omit stuff from my life.

I used to open a fridge that consisted of leftover chinese takeout, leftover pizza, leftover food from a restaurant. A freezer full of microwavable food.

Now i open the fridge everyday and see a wide arrange of fruits,vegetables and thawing meats. While opening the freezer i see all my portioned out meats of steak,chicken and fish. Then every Sunday i restock, prep and repeat week to week.

Yo I love life.
