Kinda weird, one would think tastes would just be enhanced.

They are in some ways. But i guess its all the nuances of the flavors just being odd to me. 

Strawberry ice cream and licorice are the two things that are mostly enhanced.

Chocolate and beef are the ones that taste strangest.

Ahh, licorice is so nasty already imo, lol. Chocolate taste being different is a little shitty. I am inclined to to believe this is temporary though, hopefully you will adapt to the changes or return to normal slightly. Just a guess, no proof though.

How the fuck can a dutchman not like licorice  

Its probably just that i'm used to not having functioning tastebuds. This too shall pass.

I'm not natively/genetically Dutch, lol. Anyway, the taste makes me sick.

Man, looks fantastic.

 

I have to eat at a deficit every day to lose weight.

 

It gets old after a while but at least I went from 102kg to 83kg now.

 

This means the food I am allowed I value so much more, no more burnt pizzas for me, I just throw another one in for example and let the others eat the burnt one.

 

At least I am going out for sushi at the end of the month.

Its like swedish cooking 101. First lesson. Here is something you can't mess up.

 

Are you exercising regularly?

3x a week in the gym to retain any muscle mass and max my central nervous system strenght gains. (which I maxed out haha) + sort of cardio via mail delivery part time. It's about diet for 80% though.

 

Yeah your meal doesn't look hard to make at all there.

Then you're doing fine. Just checking that you weren't starving yourself without exercise. 

(I see so many people doing that and it frustrates the hell out of me.)

Well to be fair, weight loss requires starving yourself, but in small amounts gradually.

 

Actually, fasting is 100% a-okay and starvation mode has been debunked.  (will affect muscle mass though)

 

My weight loss has been cause for a massive interest in anything biochemical and I researched this as a hobby (papers and what not).

 

Exercise is not the way to go for weight loss, diet is 80-90% of the battle, while there are many other variables, the one with the biggest impact will be the energy out> energy in equation.

 

I even do intermittent fasting. (meaning, I fast 16 hours or more, then eat my days allowance of calories in 1 meal, I like it better that way and science actually leans towards this having more favorable effects for fat loss, though meal frequency is largely irrelevant)

I definitely walked into the right wrong neighborhood...

But it isn't something that a lot of people can stick with. Which is the problem.

 

I eat the same amount i usually do. But i know that if i eat a chocolate muffin i have to exercise to even it out. (As an example. I'm having that muffin right now)

Which keeps my mood good while i get out and exercise. I miss having a physically demanding job though. Didn't have to worry about what i ate back then.

The thing is, exercise HELPS and BURNS a decent amount, but you need to do a good amount of it. Nobody has time for that besides full time work or studying, or they do, but not the willpower to spend their free time on it.

 

Fasting is not what I do, I do intermittent fasting though which is saving your kcal for a feast of 1 or 2 meals and still sticking to your kcal budget. (so I don't have breakfast, lunch or snacks, but I go big on dinner for example and a good dessert afterwards)

 

See here to dispel the 'bro myth' about meal frequency for example (though one needs multiple papers and sources of course but there are plenty): https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23404961

 

 

I'm going to shut up now, haha.

I don't mind liver. Mahshi, though... I really wish someone would have told me what it was as a kid. I've grown into it and love preparing a ton of them for the week's meals.

Well yeah. If you want to look good you need to put in the time. I do quick workouts every morning and evening and i try to go for regular walks/runs 

That is with a steady job (For the most part. Past two weeks have been pretty lean) There is a surprising amount to be gained just through body weight exercises.

Combine that with a healthy diet. (Chocolate muffin not included) and i'm keeping my weight steady. Actually slightly increasing just through adding muscle mass.

 

I'm not putting down your method. what works for you is what you do. I'm just talking in general. Most of my friends try liquid diets and miracle cures.

And yet they sit still 98% of the day and complain about gaining weight. Meanwhile i'm beach body ready. (Although i did not make it to the fucking beach this year!)

Hahaha, when will people learn there is no easy way out. Also those liquid diets are bad because I am assuming it's shakes, shakes and shakes of fruit.

 

Great. But your body wants protein as well and the liver will scream from all that glucose overload.

 

You are doing great because you are keeping at maintenance through exercise and a good diet, so you have no worries and your target weight/look!

The taste was like a kick in the balls. But you do you. And you turned a negative into a positive which is good.
