Pro tip (but that works for me, that may not work for you) when you smoke weed, prepare a huge bowl of salad beforehand, an enormous one, when I’m stoned I don’t care about what I’m eating as long as it’s food, a huge bowl of salad is totally fine and if you don’t stuff it with seasonings is pretty low on calories and actually good for your health. You can stuff yourself to stop the hunger plus eat something good and low calorie.
Some people also eat from boredom or habit; sit in front to the TV, get a snack. Turn on the Xbox, get a snack.
It’s me, I’m people. And I’m not even out of shape, just bad habits.
I’m real close to trading in my gaming chair for a recumbent bike. I’ve done it before, but sold it in a move. I don’t even sweat; I just keep moving. Works well.
My parents fucked up a lot of things but I’m lucky they gave me pretty good food habits. There was no idle eating from boredom. You don’t have a snack if it’s almost dinner time. Chips are rare. Candy is basically holidays.
Your second recommendation won’t work for everyone. For me, when I don’t have the time or energy to cook I am more likely to order unhealthy food or get take out. It helped me a lot to have easy fast healthy options at home. Frozen veggies can be thrown in the oven and then dusted with a really good spice mix. Sandwich with good whole grain bread and lean meats. Once I learned to expect at least 2 “I give up” nights a week, I was able to finally lose a few pounds.
You don’t need to cook every day, just cook a large meal once at weekends and freeze it. I always cook about 8 to 12 servings, so I can skip cooking about every other weekend. I’m lazy, so I mostly make stews, soups, lasagnas or sauces for which i just need to add a fresh portion of rice or pasta I boil the day before. These meals take 2 hours to make (max) and I’m prepared for at least a week. The excess servings of each week add up fast, so I already had some variety after a few weeks. I eat those for lunch when I’m at work and started to make whatever-salads in the evening about a week ago (vinegar-oil dressing, whatever spices/herbs, whatever veggies, whatever proteins). Best decision I made, I’m eating far less crap, less meat and the urge to order food is getting rarer. Hoping I’m gonna lose some of my fat ass in the long run, too :)
Here’s a couple free ones:
Quit drinking alcohol
When I quit drinking I lost about 50 pounds in 6 months with no other diet changes.
Basically stop drinking your calories.
Another one:
Only buy foods you have to prepare, no snacks.
That way you can prevent yourself from idly eating when bored.
What do you replace alcohol with? Hiking through nature? Meditation? Cocaine?
Cocaine is great for weight-loss…
Smoking weed is fat free, sugar free, and zero calories! Just watch out for those munchies!
I have photos of what munchies can make you do.
It was delicious tho. No regrets.

Celery is great too, lots of cronch and helps with cotton mouth
Great tips! We are fans of making veggie trays!
I go for air popped popcorn with flavocol on top. Not the healthiest but not too bad all considered. And a shitload of fiber.

This is the way! Make extra food and freeze it. Some things do better than others but it’s worth exploring this option
