00:00:00.000 Greetings, children. Today I want to elaborate a bit on how glorious I am. No, not really. I want to quickly elaborate on how to avoid and resist temptations and now this is mainly geared towards, you know, the fitness side of things.
00:00:30.040 You want to get shredded, you want to get in shape, mean and lean for whatever reason. And then obviously you can't eat as much of anything you would like. You can eat whatever you want in moderation, but it never ends in moderation.
00:00:45.060 Like there are few people who can actually, when they are at a caloric deficit and has been so for a long time, they can eat just in moderation of something they really, really like. So then in some cases it can be better to avoid it altogether.
00:00:59.100 So the easiest thing is, in that word, avoid. It is not resist per se, because if you are face to face with a temptation, and now this can be whatever in life really.
00:01:11.260 It can be sweets, food, women, alcohol, you know, whatever your weakness might be. Mine is obviously pastries and, you know, good foods like that.
00:01:21.920 I could eat a kilo of rulle torta, I would still want more, like. And for some guys it's alcohol. They can't go out with the lads and just, you know, keep it in moderation.
00:01:32.060 They binge on alcohol. So what you have to do is don't put yourself in a situation where those kind of temptations can arise.
00:01:39.580 So for me, if I'm, like, I'm now a few days out from a photo shoot, there is just not any benefit for me to surround myself with cookies and rulle tortas.
00:01:53.700 Because I will feel the temptation and it will not feel anything, it won't feel good at all.
00:01:59.280 Now, obviously, if I know it's only a few days, I will resist. But say it's a month out or something, and you need to keep, you know, the meal plan that you have set out for yourself.
00:02:09.500 Then the best thing is to do not surround yourself. Do not even see the temptations. Imagine that they're not even there.
00:02:16.440 Because when you come face to face with it, it can be really, really hard to resist.
00:02:21.380 And I actually understand a lot of fat people that say they can't lose weight.
00:02:24.740 Now, that is because if they've been cutting and their mind telling them, like, oh, what's happening now?
00:02:30.760 Let's look at the possibility of regaining some fat so we can survive winter or whatever.
00:02:35.420 And the mind and the body tells them to binge on something they really like.
00:02:39.500 They have this trigger food that they really want to eat a lot of.
00:02:42.240 And, you know, it's really common for people to go on binges.
00:02:46.420 So to avoid that, just, you don't have to resist, you just have to avoid it altogether.
00:02:51.700 So if you're walking out in a boat in life and suddenly a wild cake or a rulletorte appears, you just take a long fucking detour around it.
00:03:00.660 Or if you are, or if the lads are going out for drinks or whatever, then you say, like, okay, cool.
00:03:06.060 You know what? I'm just gonna avoid this altogether so that I don't end up binge drinking.
00:03:10.800 So the point is not to set yourself in front of a cake and be like, oh, you know, I have such a strong willpower and I'm gonna resist eating this.
00:03:19.520 In some cases, if there's a family dinner, I mean, obviously go to the family dinner, but sometimes it might be prudent to say, like, okay, cool, I can't eat this.
00:03:28.160 And then you have to exercise and willpower.
00:03:29.700 That's not hard.
00:03:30.680 But if it is all the time, sooner or later you will probably fall.
00:03:36.200 So then the best thing is to just try to avoid it.
00:03:38.440 Now, I'm not saying that you should go around in life just not looking at other things because that could lead you into temptation.
00:03:46.120 But we're talking about two weeks or one week before you have to be in good shape.
00:03:50.580 Then it can be better for you to not expose yourself to said temptations.
00:03:55.360 And as I said, it can be applied to anything in life, really.
00:03:58.040 If you know that you have a hard time resisting something, avoid it altogether in the first place.
00:04:02.400 And then you won't come face to face with that temptation.
00:04:05.260 I did last summer a thing that I'm a bit ashamed of, actually.
00:04:09.560 There was cookies worth of 900 calories, which I ate for pre-workout.
00:04:15.020 But it's 900 calories.
00:04:16.260 That's quite fucking much.
00:04:17.420 So in retrospect, I obviously should not have done that.
00:04:20.220 But that's just, you know, my willpower cracked there and I couldn't help myself.
00:04:24.440 I just ate those cookies.
00:04:26.120 Now, I still got in shape, but it didn't do myself any favors.
00:04:30.160 And I could have avoided that by not being in a place where there was 900 fucking calories worth of cookies.
00:04:37.360 So yeah, that's basically my best idea there.
00:04:40.540 My best advice for resisting temptations.
00:04:43.800 Avoid them altogether for a certain period of time.
00:04:47.480 Like, I'm not saying that you should do it, make a lifestyle out of it.
00:04:50.560 But one or two months during the summer, it's not the whole world.
00:04:54.100 And I mean, you shouldn't base your life quality on eating or drinking or etc.
00:04:58.120 I mean, you have to find value in life in other aspects than such base things.
00:05:04.300 So it might sound a bit fanatic, but if you think about it, it's not really.
00:05:09.440 If you, on the other hand, base your happiness upon eating, then you might actually have a problem for real that you need to deal with.
00:05:17.520 But yeah, so that's all I have to say that today.
00:05:20.120 So what I'm doing right now, my plan is, you know, I don't buy any sort of high calorie food.
00:05:26.300 So that I might be satiated all the time and then I occupy my mind with other things to keep the cravings at bay.
00:05:35.020 So yeah, hope that helps.
00:05:36.520 And who am I?
00:05:37.600 It's a secret I'll never tell.
00:05:39.140 Exactly so.
00:05:39.960 Boom!
