After all this time, I’m just now finding the way to diet that works for me. I don’t know if this would have been even possible for me in middle school and high school, under my parents roof. Plus, at the time I had bought into all the bro-science: I didn’t know any better.
The ONLY thing that works for me to control my weight, is doing OMAD with my meal in the evening. That way, I can have my huge feast at night without any risk of it spiraling into an all day binge. I also track calories as much as humanly possible. Then, combining that with being insanely active to increase my TDEE as much as I possibly can each day. And if I ate too much on the weekend or some random day, then do a full day of extended fasting to smooth out my calories, so it doesn’t cancel out my diet or result in me gaining weight.
I just don’t see myself being able to do this routine while I was under my parents roof. I doubt they’d let me skip breakfast and lunch, or not even eat at all some days.
At the time, I was doing that 6 clean meals a day crap that never worked for me. I just couldn’t get lean, no matter how hard I tried. And I didn’t even know about intermittent fasting and what an amazing tool it was for controlling my weight/cutting. Literally, other than the routine that I laid out, NOTHING else worked.
So I guess the question I’m asking is, was I doomed from the very start? Did I stand no chance of getting shredded before college? Should I beat myself up over this?
Or, should I just make up for it by recreating those experiences that I always wanted(being shredded and having a super nice body) as an adult? And then gain my happiness that way?
