"Cravings At Bay" concept plan | Sept. 12 (~11/10 possibly)

This plan aims to prioritize mental stimulation and prevent overeating by both keeping my brain stimulated and my stomach "full enough". 

Morning - Afternoon:

- first thing, take Vyvanse

- First meal: Main source of protein + fruit & veggies | Can also be a small portion of desired food + larger portion of necessary food | FULL glass of water

Evening:

- Meal: Same as above ^ Prioritize protein & fiber, can utilize add-don't-subtract method. Don't be shy to save food for later or even waste it, your stomach isn't a garbage can. | FULL glass of water

Night:

- Final meal(? preferably only 2 meals a day - optional & interchangeable with evening meal): Same as above + FULL glass of water.

- Frequent consumption is unfortunately necessary for keeping appetite at bay. Laziness will lead to failure and overeating, It's as simple as that.

--> Starting from 8pm (or whenever you leave the cafeteria) Every hour should include a small consumption of allowed snacks/substances and other form of stimulation.

example format:

7:45pm: Finished with meal, leaves for dorms.

9:00pm: Handful of grapes or cantaloupe (can look like 5 grapes & 4 pieces of cantaloupe) + 1 large gulp of protein shake (preferably with no sugar)

10:00pm: Cucumbers and shredded carrots + Another large gulp of protein shake

11:00pm: Yogurt(*) + Another large gulp of protein shake

12:00am: You should ideally be headed to bed, but Metamucil w/ water should be taken at some point, recommend an hour before bed.

* yogurt & other safe foods can be bought through doordash or other means to store in mini-fridge

- additional info: Monster energy is a caffeinated drink and can provide mental stimulation in tandem with the night routine or during the same. Can be sipped leisurely alongside other products. Should only be cycled though (every other day->every 3rd day, so on and so forth.)

   -----> Eating Habits & Other related: 

- Protein can have a simple carb attached, but it should be smaller than the protein.

- Food should be chewed slowly and savored(can be applied mainly to desired food).

- Ideally, limiting other stimuli like internet use whilst eating can have long-term effect on appetite and cravings/habits. 

- For snacking in between meals, I recommend consuming something light every 2 hours (if you're available). When out of class, take note of your appetite and plan accordingly.

- Because of the frequent eating, you need to control portions. If it doesn't feel like it's enough, it's probably enough. 9/10, the smaller portion is still filling so don't let your mouth get the better of you. Use your fist as reference. Basically, your actual meals should look like you're anorexiamaxxing.

- Get creative in the cafeteria + pick food from maybe La Mesa that reads like ingredients.

- experiment w/ not eating all day and saving this plan for nighttime

- Ideally, everything you consume should total up to ~1600 calories. If you're going over, you're doing something wrong.
