>How do you cope with it, fit?

I don't. I just don't drink sodas and eat chips. It works to an extent and I'm content at being 18-20% bodyfat all the time.

Even if you're strict about dieting, you can have cheat days once in a while with negligible effects on your weight/bodyfat.

Your will, like muscles, will build over time. At first, you aren't able to resist much. You feel like shit and desperately want change. Don't worry OP, just keep trying to fight the desire and have a cheat meal once a weak to fight the cravings.

eat whatever you want and train as much as required to burn off the calories

thanks anons

today is another day, the fight goes on

I've found I can eat pretty much what I want as long as I only drink things with zero calories. Drinks were what fucked me up and made me fat in my youth, not food. Now I stick to water, black coffee, tea with artificial or no sweetener, occasionally one of the calorie free energy drinks. It frees up a lot of calories that I can then consume via food. I'd estimate that in my youth I was consuming twice as much calories as I needed, like a day's worth in food and then another 2000 in drinks. Soda, over-sugared coffee, juice, shit like that.

Same

I used to drink a 3-liter of cola or more a day. And that was just normally. I'd feel "thirsty" and my parents would hand me a cola. That isn't even counting other liquid calories from chocolate milk and/or when we went out to eat I'd purchase milk shakes or slurpees

Now I just drink water mostly. Once a day I will drink something other than water but it still has 0 calories. Usually for dinner for something different.

In doing this I've been able to maintain my weight. I don't lose but at least I don't gain and I find I can eat more food than normal. Before I was gaining weight every month with all my liquid calories

It has drastically changed my eating habits with only drinking water. For the better I'd say. I initially started losing weight doing this but after I found my baseline weight I stopped losing weight and keep a steady balance now

I honestly lost a good 20 pounds just from not drinking cola or chocolate milk anymore

Jesus Christ, reading this thread reminds me of a couple of years ago and my abuse of soda, t-thanks /fit/ I'm never going back to that state.

I had what was essentially a cheat summer 2 years ago. I hung out with my cousin who bought me any kind of junk food, sodas and alcohol I wanted with no responsibilities.

I ended up a fucking NEET with 28 holes in my teeth, no reason to live and 0 social skills.

I'm happy I dragged myself out of it all. I still love booze

You'll reach a point where you won't even want that kind of food, it will taste too salty or sugary, you'll appreciate the taste of good food and you won't have a problem.

You can have pie, just not every fucking day.

Don't be that obnoxious guy who won't even have a piece of birthday cake. If you are you may just as well go vegan while you're at it.

>worrying about eating a bit of desert now and then

Diversifying your diet isn't a bad thing. If you normally don't eat pie, your body will not blow up from one slice.

I eat coacoa every day. I make a sort of pudding with whey, cocoa, milk (usually non-dairy), and something like chia seeds sprinkled in for texture. I put a lot of whey in that shit and eat it over the course of my feeding window. The cocoa tastes great and adds anti-oxidants. I'll sweeten with honey/sugar or stevia if I'm cutting.

sheeeeeeeeeit I completely forgot I've got a can of 100% cocoa powder in my pantry. That's going in my next shake.
