Yeah I think that's her plan.

"An average woman needs to eat about 2000 calories per day to maintain, and 1500 calories to lose one pound of weight per week. An average man needs 2500 calories to maintain, and 2000 to lose one pound of weight per week. However, this depends on numerous factors."

I've often wondered if chewing food and spitting it out would be as satisfying. Like the joy of a doughnut is entirely in the flavor of it whereas the only feeling in your belly is shame commingled with regret. Especially after two.

It's not as satisfying. Part of the pleasure of eating comes from mastication and flavor, and the other part comes from SWALLOWING. This is neurochem.

I think this is an important tangent we've taken here.

Why is pleasure important in eating, at all? Isn't the main purpose to fuel our bodies? Don't get me wrong, I enjoy food, but pleasure is probably the fourth or fifth most important factor to me when I'm choosing what to eat. A number of people admit in this thread that they eat animals because they taste good. That is their sole justification. I guess it just strikes me as terribly childish and undisciplined, to weigh pleasure so heavily in your decision-making.

Don't anorexics have damaged brain reward centers, too? You probably suffered brain damage from all those vegetables.

i've said these very same words many times. It gets nowhere. You're explaining the joy of sobriety to a junkie ^^

I experience a net gain in pleasure from not eating relative to eating, and find the stimulation i get from caloric deficit very motivating. ^^ music sounds so good. I've always found opiation to squoosh my creativity. BUT it takes a couple weeks of rigorously implementing my willpower regimen before existing at this sort of baseline becomes effortless and pleasurable. Withdrawal from sin is painful.

This made me chuckle given that he admitted to using at least 3 different hardcore drugs so far

I think you could make an exception for anything deep fried with lard (typical american diet). That stuff usually makes me feel like shit, but it tastes pretty good.
