Hacks
Each hack is rated on a tongue-in-cheek unethical scale from 1–5. They're all intended to be safe, practical, and boring enough to work.
Level 1
Barely Unethical
Easy wins with low friction. These are the simplest changes that require minimal effort but deliver consistent results.
Level 2
A Little Unethical
Adding friction to overeating. These tactics introduce small barriers that make mindless eating less automatic.
Level 3
Questionable
Social and situational tactics that are still safe. These strategies might feel a bit manipulative or robotic, but they work within social situations.
Level 4
Very Unethical
Commitment devices and rules you can't wiggle out of. These require more upfront planning and structure, making it harder to make poor decisions.
Level 5
Extremely Unethical
Still safe, but socially ruthless. These are the most aggressive strategies that prioritize results over social comfort.
