One thing that helped me was to actually very slowly decrease my intake. Instead of just adjusting my diet entirely. There are some apps that will guide you in making a slow change.
It works for some, not for all.

“Apply through the online portal” is usually the instruction.
It all depends on the specific business.

Reply to comment by Vq-Blink in LPT Request: How to stop over eating and have more control over my diet? by Vq-Blink
My therapist explained that outside of some specific medical diagnoses that cause one to be chronically overweight, if you're holding onto weight for a long time, it's not an eating problem or an exercise problem, it's an emotional problem. Using food for addiction/dopamine is a common way to self soothe and a psych professional can be very useful to identify underlying issues and get past them.

Two things that help me:
-
when serving meals, put one portion on your plate and do not have the pots/casserole dishes etc on the table. Having to get up to go get seconds is actually a decent mental barrier.
-
don’t keep a bunch of snacks in the house. You can’t eat that which you don’t have.

100%. I’ve already used about 60/70 hours this year and my boss has been getting on me about not using it enough.
I think they are really trying to eliminate burnout. I can see it being used nefariously, but I think they just actually want us to be happy, as opposed to the theme park that I came from, which has a more “hire an 18 year old when this person burns out” mentality

I was, but there was outside influence that warped that to some degree. Society does an awful lot of telling you what a good job is, and most of that is flat out wrong. Knowing what you want is like saying know yourself - super easy to say, rarely ever attained.

I eat out almost every day. What I do is fast for a few hours, then eat a massive meal to start the day (1,000-1,200 cals) and then wait 5-6 hours and do a minor meal at home. I might throw in an iced coffee in this time frame with a stevia if I’m really feeling a sweet craving. Then something like a Greek salad with a side of oysters/sardines. Maybe some kimchi. Adds another 300-400 cals.
More times than not, that first meal involves an avocado in some way. Amazing food that keeps you sated.
Final thing is drinking about a gallon of water and doing your best to space the amount out so you don’t overdo it before bedtime.

It’s the peace of mind for me. I don’t have to worry about picking and choosing days off for events

take advantage of the unlimited pto.
data shows most workers who have “unlimited pto” end up using less of it than those who don’t.
also “unlimited pto” is a way for the company not to pay you out anything if you leave or if they let you go.
so take advantage of it. use it. 👍🏻

This is what I do. My coworkers all make fun of me for saving half my food, but then they stare at me while I eat and they complain about being hungry.
Ok-Intention7427 t1_je12pl5 wrote
I think it depends entirely on your habits but then best thing that can help enable you on any path to better eating habits will be calorie tracking. I use MyFitnessPal which is very popular but makes it easier. If you eat something with a barcode you can scan it. Make sure to measure out portions appropriately from larger containers. If you make food you can enter or scan a recipe with it. Get a food scale as well and measure everything you eat.
The habit alone will have you thinking about calories, and hopefully macros too but start easy, every time you enter something. Then when you get a hold on it and it becomes second nature you will find it very easy to implement any other changes to your diet.

I use an app it's called fat studio to track what I eat. I find that seeing the calories if what I'm eating adding up very visually to be an excellent deterrent to overeating, although not 100% effective.

Please provide us with the evidence to back this up. Your suggested diet is very unhealthy in the long term. I hope OP doesn't follow through with that.

Phentamine is literally the easy way out. Hard way is to eat filling foods.

Reply to comment by Cando232 in LPT: clean your stovetop after using the oven. The heat loosens grime for easy removal by Cando232
It's not mine, but it's a nice Cuisinart one.
Any recs on an oven cleaner that works best on its own with minimal agitation/scrubbing? Or will any one do?

If you've eaten what you feel is an adequate amount and still feel hungry, try drinking a big glass of water and waiting a while. It may take a while for the feeling of "full" to catch up. This can lead to you feeling sufficiently full while avoiding the "why the fuck did I eat so much?" level of full.

For this LPT it actually doesn’t. If you CAN message on indeed you SHOULD. You wouldn’t be able to message them if the employer hadn’t enabled the feature.
