My approach is a little more radical. For me it’s not just the fat, but everything it stands for: commercial culture such as Kellogg, Nestle, Phillip Morris, trailer parks, soap operas, country Western love songs, and the like. Thus, the manufacturers of those foods, whom I call the merchants of blimptitude, are out to put their alien blubber in my body.
This is worse than putting dog feces full live of round worms into my mouth and swallowing it. At lest the worms will not make your body a trophy that shouts from the highest rooftops that the merchants of blimptitude have left their mark.
Now it does not matter if they can spice up and sweeten the indiscretions scooped from the cat litter pan to taste good; that McDonald’s will never come near my body.

After watching that clip, Tony Robbins kinda ruined pizza for me as well.

I believe most dedicated dieters do unexpectedly experience this, seeing the opportunity cost of eating that one slide of cake as being a week’s delay in achieving your body fat goals.

The negative side to this is that you can become annoying to people around you by making them feel bad whenever they eat the unhealthy foods they love; it’s just like religious people trying to force their beliefs on you.

I ended up doing this when I first decided to go primal. I had “treat” meals twice a month– I think if I would have done more than that I would have reverted back into my unhealthy habits. Whats funny now, when I am starving and need a snack I normally resort to eating a tomato with lemon pepper on it instead of a twinkie or other junk food that I would have tried to find as fast as possible. It really just takes a little bit of time and dedication to change your mind. Once I stopped buying the stuff, I stopped thinking about it and it just stopped being apart of something “I needed”. Great article and so much truth to it. If you don’t have the temptation in front of you, it is a lot easier to choose healthy alternatives!!

I did exactly the same thing Luke, used to have a ton of sugar in my coffee so just cut it out. At first it was pretty bitter and awful but now I love a nice strong cup of coffee and I can’t stand it with sugar in.

Need to try this with more veg…. not eating bad stuff isn’t too bad but trying to get the good things in is hard.

I basically did this in relation to added sugars in drinks, not through thinking of pain and pleasure though more just being consistent, I will say though I found it hardest to remove sugar from tea as I find the taste somewhat significantly different, but having kept at it for a month or so I started to like the “strong earthy taste” I associate with regular tea, also I find I enjoy the coffee flavor more now that “sugar isn’t overpowering it” I know that’s not really the same as having junk meals all the time, but all those wee teaspoons of sugar here and there soon add up!.

@Gary. That’s exactly the type of thing I’m talking about here. Well done. And it works.

Very interesting. I think I did this without knowing what I was doing year ago. I loved all sweet things, but I started to make myself say “fat” whenever I saw these foods. After a while it just stuck. Now I only take that stuff occasionally.

I really need to try this on Chinese food. The sweetness is addictive to me! Thanks
