I have gotten him to stop this by getting him to start using ephedrine, no longer binges or eats much really. He wanted to try clen, but being responsible I told him not until he's nearly shredded.

I'm going to try to get her to bring an actual lunch to work every day; right now she just brings like an apple and a diet coke. She claims she isn't hungry throughout the day so I think she just has trouble identifying when she's hungry. Setting a regular eating pattern will fix that, and prevent the evening binges.

why people recommend deprivation diets a la PSMF to people who don't count fitness as one of their main hobbies is beyond me. baby steps - the best diet is the one that gets followed, so tell her to gradually cut out bad stuff one week, reduce portion sizes the next week, blah blah. to most people, a "diet" is something that is going to suck hard, but only for awhile, so tough it out until its "done" - so surprise surprise that yo-yo dieting and people jumping on and off bandwagons happens.

dont think in terms of "diets," think in terms of changing habits; for people who lift its no biggie since we will do horrible things to get our daily protein and observe macro ratios. for someone who struggles to get to a gym in the first place, facing weeks of only eating protein is like a death sentence. i would tell her to track everything she eats for a week, and then next week eat the same but cut out the most egregious junk food. week after that, replace something shitty with meat and a salad. combine a process like that with hitting the gym more often and i think it will be more sustainable. this might be slow going for someone who wants results NAO but dealing with that is an attitude/expectation shift that needs to happen to anyone who is after fat/weight loss.

my gf is on the same post-holiday wanting-to-cut-down kick and i've been suggesting the above to her so i'll let you know what she thinks of it. ps. women's health is the fucking bane of my existence; her and i have pretty much agreed to disagree about fitness.
