You know nothing about my metabolism.

My hunger feels 8 trillion times worse than an obese person’s. Since I am making the claim, everyone else has to affirm it now.

But it is factually true that it’s a matter of willpower, no amount of reframing it is going to change that.

It’s not like others like myself, currently on a cut cycle, don’t experience hunger. The idea that we are just “lucky” ignores all the willpower and discipline we fight through to do it ourselves.

I’ve eaten about 800 calories today and it is 4pm. Just finished 90 minutes on the indoor bike. My stomach feels hungry. I experience that and just sit with it. That is the difference.

Interesting read. In modern life almost everyone experiences at least a brief if perhaps isolated/niche version of fame. We are just so heavily connected in so many different networks, it just statistically is likely to happen at some point.

It is a mixed bag for sure, but in terms of risk/reward it is best to have an accurate understanding of both sides so you can make damn sure you are optimizing for the right thing.

Not a single person “knows” the bubble will pop.

Many think it will.
