Prepping In The Year 3000 - Dealing With Hunger At 12 Weeks Out

[@cookiecutter1773]

the being content with being hungry during a diet thing hits home. I can make all the greg doucette anabolic cookbook artifical sweetener high volume recipes I want but in my experience the more time I spend thinking about what low calorie recipe I'm going to make today the more hungry I feel because I'm constantly thinking about food.

[@fabiopapalia]

I'm in the fasting thing since 2014. Dieting is a mental game. Food is the most hard of the 'addictions', that everybody have, of course. To win the hunger you must fight the fear of your own death, if you go deep inside the emotions. You have to reach a point where you say: i'm starving now, and i'm fine about it.

I used to be the exact same, now when cutting i use bland food and meal prep so the decisions are pre made and i don’t think about food. The more you think about it you Convince yourself you are hungrier

[@Team3DMJ]

Like everything else the best answers usually is somewhere in the middle. You get it

[@funkymonkey7202]

Also the fact it makes your palete want to eat those really flavorful food

[@-name-_]

@@funkymonkey7202 Yh fully agree, i try not to use sweeteners coz they give me cravings, and like tbh there is only so much unflavoured water oatmeal one can crave lol…

[@Spychu1993]

I've just got a reality check when it comes to cutting the physique. In 2017 when I was 23/24 I dropped 10kg, from 83 kg to 73 kg. I was shredded af. Veins on quads, even on stomach and back. Now in 2023 I am 29, almost 30 and I can;t stand the calorie deficit LOL. Back then in last weeks of the cut I was on 1700kcal a day, with workouts and cardio. Every 10th day I had big refeed. Now I am on 2300kcal and I am losing my shit after 2-3 weeks and it ends with binge eating. I am afraid I will never see my 6pack again lol. Thank you for your wisdom Alberto, I will just try to accept the reality and keep moving forward on deficit.

That Arsenal pendulum is very very nice, my gym recently got it and it’s my new main squat pattern instead of the hack

[@Team3DMJ]

I’m digging it so far

For those DB back row partials: did you use a HEAVIER weight for the partials?

[@Team3DMJ]

Yes about 30% more

[@Nutri.IgorBon]

Just curiosity, why don’t you eat a good amount of vegetables bro? On the full day of eating video I didn’t notice that. Without malice in the question

[@Year_Of_The_Cat]

Yeah I noticed that too, I mean I get IIFYM/flexible dieting and that’s really all that matters to get lean but little to no micro noots to be seen… My well being would fall dramatically if I didn’t eat my veggies. I’m also curious about this question, and the same no malice intended. How do you get by without eating many veggies or was this just single day of eating and not representative of the overall diet?

[@Team3DMJ]

I think it’s really hard to clearly see what one person chronically eats from a few snap shots

[@Year_Of_The_Cat]

Of course 3DMJ. That’s why we’re just asking the question. We know this isn’t the be all and end all in terms of berto’s diet. We are just curious as to where the veggies fit in. It’s a valid question. Would like to see a couple of days of food eating maybe a three day or maybe even just ONE day of eating which includes an average of a weekly feeding inc veggies. Nice one on the word “chronically” It would’ve thrown most people… Not me dough! 😜 Dat you Eric? Maybe ?😝 xx I love you all baby!!! 😝😝😝

[@Nutri.IgorBon]

@@Team3DMJ With all due respect, was a full day of eating video. It is intended to have all food consumed in that day. I am not judging… Who am I to. Just wanna Know if there is something behind it…

[@HyperionKing]

Gum is the worst thing to eat...makes you salivate gets your stomach acids going cause your body thinks your eating actual food but when nothing is there it just makes you more hungry

[@MentalGains]

I don't feel that. Def stops my hunger for me.

[@Team3DMJ]

And you just get to the point that if you aren’t tasting something good all the time you struggle

[@richardtrass]

Really interesting how you like the press arounds. I tried them the other day and they felt as awkward as they look. Probably doing them wrong. Just don’t enjoy the cable rubbing against the forearm. You look super jacked when you do them tho. My video didn’t look so great😂. I see you brace with your other arm. That may be where I’m going wrong

[@ryan_dosa]

Awesome

[@Team3DMJ]

Appreciate you popping up man

[@alejandropadilla5755]

How tall is Alberto?

[@nads7865]

What is the strategy for the DB bench? Two sets of 6 for the 115s and once achieved, go for 120 for 6? Seems like a big jump, but if you're "retracing" your steps, I suppose it doesn't matter.

[@Team3DMJ]

I thought I could…goal is to get 115s for all 10s three times and then move up

[@nads7865]

@@Team3DMJ How long does it typically take you to go from 6 reps to 10 reps across three sets? 1-3 months? This is assuming you're not in a calorie deficient.

[@sound39532]

How are you able to drop fat like that over 40?

[@BadlyNeedAHug]

What are your thoughts on prolong fasting for above 20% bodyfat?

[@Team3DMJ]

If the intervention doesn’t match up to something you can see yourself doing long term, or too far off from your current baseline habits…it usually won’t work, or at best not work for very long

[@gregtuttle9626]

All that hair and beard make your head look huge and makes it look like you are small as all heck. Just sayin.

[@lukesmith1937]

You’re just plain rude

[@MentalGains]

Lol why even say this? What value does this actually add?

[@Team3DMJ]

Ey it makes me happy and I can’t base everything around bodybuilding. I’m sure it will work itself out

[@richardtrass]

He looks super impressive to me. One of the best natty physiques on the planet.

[@keepquiet]

@erictrexler promotes this acceptance style of hunger management; it will come, don’t fight it

That dude is fire…like the Kyrie Irving of evidence based fitness
