For the longest time I thought my diet I had to taste good.

It makes sense, right?

If your diet tastes good and meets your calorie and macro requirements, you stick to it.

Well' I've found that it's not entirely true.

Whenever I eat tasty stuff, I keep wanting more of that tasty stuff.

And that's the problem.

I mean when was the last time you ate a donut and didn't want another one?

And this goes for basically all tasty stuff.

Sure you could work in a donut in your diet but in the it does more bad than good.

On one hand you make your diet tastier.

On the other hand you put yourself in a position where you can't stop thinking about tasty food.

It's like a shark.

We've all heard that sharks can taste a drop of blood from miles away.

And when they get the first taste, they go crazy.

Same thing happens when you eat tasty stuff.

I've found that it's best to find a sweet spot between ultra tasty food and food you absolutely hate.

You want your diet to fall in the middle of that scale.

In the end, what's the goal of a fat loss diet?

To make you comfortable?

To make you feel good?

No.

The goal is to lose fat so you can look and feel good.

So you can be more attractive to the opposite sex.

So you can have a higher status in your social circle.

So you can be proud of the reflection in the mirror.

So if you love donuts, don't put it into your diet because you know you'll want more.

And chances are you'll eat more and as a result fuck up your diet.

Same goes for food you hate.

If you hate brown rice, don't eat brown rice, opt for white rice.

And I can tell you one thing.

Eating rice, lean meats, veggies, essentially healthy food can sound plain and boring at first but overtime, it's not that bad.

You're just so used to eating tasty junk that "healthy" food sounds trash.

Once again, the goal of a fat loss diet is to reshape your body not to eat tasty stuff.

So if you know that eating tasty stuff makes you want more tasty stuff, for the love of god, don't make your diet ultra tasty.

And sure there are outliers, there are people who can add tasty stuff to their meal plan and have no negative side effects.

Absolutely.

But from my experience with myself and others, it's not the case with most people.
