The Monotony Loop
Eat the exact same lunch for 30 days to kill craving rewards.
Food industry engineers 'bliss points' to keep you eating. The counter-move is 'sensory specific satiety.' By eating the exact same boring (but healthy) meal for lunch daily, you remove the dopamine hit. Food becomes fuel, not entertainment.
Execution Tips
- ⊕Pick something nutritionally complete like chicken, rice, and broccoli.
- ⊕Prep 5 days at a time to remove decision fatigue.
- ⊕Save 'variety' for a planned weekend meal.
Cautions
- ⊗Ensure your 'monotony meal' has all necessary micronutrients.
