Saw dad lose a cannonball of a beer belly. He had run into an old friend and was embarrassed by how fat he had become in comparison. Asking his friend how he lost it, John replied:
“Easy Bob, I just brainwashed myself into thinking being hungry was a good thing.”
You’re not telling yourself food is bad, that way lies eating disorders. You’re simply telling yourself that being low-key hungry is a normal state of affairs for a homo sapien. Because it is a normal state of affairs. Stop horking down pork rinds every time a little hunger pings you. Fucking ignore it, go on. That behavior can become a habit.
People see my skinny ass eat like a hog and marvel at my “metabolism”. No, hard no. I only put calories in my face two, maybe three times a day. Zero snacks, zero soft drinks. (OK, time to fess up. Many calories from beer. There, I said it.)
A long time ago, i decided to myself there are people starving all over the world. Maybe it’s okay if I occasionally feel some mild hunger sometimes, and that helped a lot when I decided to actively drop. I still eat snacks, but it’s zero while the sun is up. Then at night I can easily add up my meals and know how much chocolate I can have, which is a critical nutrient in my book, especially paired with peanut butter.

Worked for me as well.
