how do you learn to become satisfied with just one?

By using your braincells to conjure enough willpower that you can overcome your base instincts

>>76326022 (OP)
sometimes I feel very lucky that I never had any love for eating pastries.

I don’t get the appeal of this

>>76326022 (OP)
The trick is to not even eat one.

Though after doing low carb for a year now I’d probably be satiated with just one. But I wouldn’t dare try

>>76326022 (OP)
by having a job and realizing you dont have all the time in the world to sit there and eat whatever the fuck you want

>>76326058
>I don't get the appeal of a juicy, cream filled donut bursting into your hungry little mouth after a nice hard workout or hike
Uh oh! Fag alert!

>learn what you like in terms of flavor and texture
>take a moment to actually select the one you'll like most
>eat your favorite one slowly and deliberately, really savor the taste
>have a meal before eating the donut/have a high protein snack on hand
>avoid the rest of the donuts afterward
Part of the reason people huarf down half a box of donuts is that they eat the pastry like a ravenous disgusting animal. Donuts are a treat, and why wouldn't you savor and enjoy your treat? Your brain will enjoy it more because it feels like you're getting more donut by extending the time you spend eating it, and your body will have more time to realize that it is slightly fuller now. Eating something satiating like a meal or a pack of proper beef jerky (I like No Man's Land, it's essentially just beef and salt the way God intended) keeps you from wanting to eat another donut, and avoiding the rest of them (leave the donut shop immediately after purchase, don't go back to the break room until after the donuts are gone) prevents you from doing so even if you want to.

>>76326022 (OP)
If you stop eating carbs you should stop craving sweets. It happened to me when I tried keto and when I got the flu or something and stopped eating altogether.

>>76326022 (OP)
its simple.

Only the old fashioned, denser, cake-like donuts give any feeling of satisfaction. The airy ones suck. Also have it with coffee which curbs your appetite. A donut or any pastry is an indulgence, think of it as such.

>>76326022 (OP)
You just buy one and not a dozen. Just remind yourself you can always have a donut if you really want one but choose not do.

If it's an office situation, there's always going to be some person bringing them in so just don't have that all or nothing mentality. One donut is not going to make you gain weight.

>>76326309
god damn, its just a donut. holy fuck, how autistic are you?

>>76326022 (OP)
That is impossible. You would have to shrink down to a child. I require at least 6.

>>76326058
I like to lick lovingly around the outside and then thrust my tongue in the middle.

i dont eat garbage simple as

>>76326022 (OP)
I eat as many as I want because I do cardio regularly. Sorry!

>>76326022 (OP)
You're supposed to have it with coffee, which is an appetite suppressant.

>>76326022 (OP)
you're not supposed to eat any

>>76326048
Same, I love salt while being fairly indifferent to sugar. I'd rather eat a bag of salt & vinegar chips than any pastry.

>>76326078
Salt & Fat > Sugar & Carbs

>>76326327
How can anyone enjoy sprinkles? It is like chewing on sand.

>>76326022 (OP)
Take one and move to another room. Eat it slowly and savor it. That should be enough for you, unless you're literally starved, in which case you should instead be eating nutritious food.

>>76326674
also this

>>76326022 (OP)
by savoring the fuck out of it with a cup of hot black coffee

by not buying it in the first place

>>76326022 (OP)
Buy just one. If you need to buy more due to social or job related reasons, use those same social pressures to just grab one. Developing a sense of “limited stock” is unironically half the battle, I’m not grieving the donuts I can’t eat because I have none in front of my right now, but if I had a dozen I’d probably eat 3.

>>76326022 (OP)
Are you A Big Donut Guy™?

>>76327945

for you

CHECK 'EM!

>>76326557
this is the key. if im having a donut im treating myself to the donut im craving, not a whole dozen. im gonna whore myself out on some sweets on my birthday coming up though.

>>76327598
they give the soft donut texture its the only doughnut style one i can eat whereas cake ones are superior

>>76326022 (OP)
Eat it slowly and drink fat free milk with it. Don't over eat carbs before or after. I did this today actually when I went to go get donuts with the misses.
Also anons if you read this I think I may have brain damage from hitting my head to hard cuz of my autism. I love this world and my body please give me my braincells back. I currently have a concussion and I am so restless.

How do you guys deal with them just being brought to work by other people or left in the break room by a manager trying to boost morale. I try to plan out my meals in advance, but as soon as something unexpected I want is put right in front of me I have a very hard time saying no to it.

>>76328533
If I really need to eat it I'll just skip wtv I'm gonna eat and drink it with like 2 water bottles then eat a cans of tuna to even out the macros

>>76327592
I agree but you can have both

>>76326048
Same. Only pastry I had any fondness for growing up was the Midwest "butter roll" which isn't even that bad, basically a flaky dinner roll with a thin milky glaze.

>>76326022 (OP)
Alternately, gorge yourself with like four or six once every other year or so
Averages out to less than one donut a quarter

>>76326022 (OP)
If you can't control yourself then don't buy them at all

i smash a pastry with a strong black coffee in the morning some days

its a great little treat

>>76326022 (OP)
Sugar is not normal food, its a drug.
Would you want to be satisfied by just one line of coke?
Things that are so enriched are not natural.
In nature you only find so much sugar in bees nests but the bees have made an enormous effort to gather so much sugar.

>>76326022 (OP)
Sometimes I just wonder about chewing on them until the flavor is gone and then just spitting it all into the trash. No calories if they don't hit my stomach, right?

>>76329176
swallowing is half the fun

>>76326022 (OP)
I'm a salt guy and hate sugar.
I'll take a bite and feel sick, won't take another one.
Mayonaise on the other hand... i just can't stop

>>76326022 (OP)
What are the two doughnuts under the sprinkles one? t. europoor

>>76329243
looks like a cake donut that's been glazed

>>76326022 (OP)
you can start by giving me the one with the cum on it

>>76326048
loving salt saved me, i always just made some salty potato abomination or salty eggs instead of eating smth sweet
my sister got the sweettooth genes and is fat as fuck nowadays and not in a good way

>>76326327
for me, boston/bavarian cream mog every donut and I don't even know what flavor the middle one you picked is.

>>76326022 (OP)
After I spent my life eating tons of garbage like this I completely lost my sweet tooth. Nowadays I’ll enjoy a dessert every once in a while, but the need to grab candy bars at work or swing through the drive through to get a milkshake isn’t there.

>>76326674
coffee always made me hungrier because it raises my heart rate and costs me energy

>>76326048
>>76329504
Same, but I can eat a whole loaf of break like it's nothing.

>>76326022 (OP)
My stupid fucking job provides donuts and bagels every Wednesday morning. I can't lose weight because of this shit. Oh well at least I'm getting big and strong... I want my fucking abs back how the hell do I lose weight

>>76329176
Carbs get digested the moment your saliva touches them.

>>76329830
Nah dude. If you limit yourself to 1 bagel and 1 donut every Wednesday you should still be able to lose weight.

The issue is you have an all or nothing mentality and pig out on those days because you feel like you'll just have one more binge day and than get back on track instead of just having a little bit of what you want. I'm not saying this to be a dick, I'm saying this from experience.

>>76329830
Just say "no, thank you". Tell yourself you don't like sweets until you believe it, and then tell it to other people too.

>>76326022 (OP)
For me it help to learn about what it actually does when it's in your body. That and the many detriments to being fat.

>>76326022 (OP)
>>76330460
Honestly though I just eat whatever I want and keep it in my macros. I have eaten the most heinous shit while cutting and it was fine. It does make the cut harder at times but deep down I am a very fat man so I think it's worth it.

>>76329830
>I can't lose weight because of this shit.
You can just say no.

>>76330079
This is really good advice

>>76326327
The pink sprinkle donut and the cum covered one
Yep just what Id expect from a gigafaggot like yourself

>>76329518
It's a cake donut. Personally my favorite too and they don't make me as sick.
Fuck I want some round rock donuts now.

>>76326022 (OP)

You just don't buy them. I've lost around 250lbs. I know I'm a food addict - do you think a reformed crackhead keeps crack lying around? No, you throw that shit in the trash and never put yourself around it again.

>>76326022 (OP)
Every time I "treat myself" with junk, I end up feeling like shit. Not even because I let myself down, but because it's too sugary and not filling at all.

>>76326022 (OP)
why would you want to be satisfied with just one?

food doesn't make you fat unless you laze around like a sedentary piece of shit. As long as you're active and moving around eating a calorie bomb every once and awhile isn't going to do shit to your weight.

>>76326022 (OP)
Stopped buying 12

>Me? Enjoy the sweetness and flavor of these delicious pastries? I would NEVER. See, I am a MAN, a MAN does not care for such things! Food is for nutrition only!

>>76326570
Don't pin this shit on me you faggot. OP's sped ass can't resist eating an entire box of donuts apparently, so I gave him tips on how not to be a cream-filled colossus. Stupid questions usually require in-depth answers because normal people have an innate understanding of how to do simple shit

>>76330505
>prefers the cum filled soft booty hole ones
cringe

>>76328533
Yeah this is kind of a tough one, since managers usually strategically place them so that EVERYONE walks by the donut boxes.
>work in grocery store in college
>bakery in store would have tons of goodies left over at close
>manager would leave them piled up at the junction where we all had to walk through to get to work stations (dairy cooler, backstock, etc)
>worked in dairy cooler with no cameras
>started grabbing a donut and walking into my ice cave where nobody could see
>chew up a bite of donut
>spit it out into trash
>rinse with milk and swallow
This secret minimum-wage jutsu allowed me to enjoy tasty donuts as much as I wanted without actually eating them. Because your mouth supposedly produces more saliva and acid if you eat something (being the #1 argument against chew-and-spitting), rinsing with some milk and swallowing that neutralized the acid.

>>76329176
>>76330751

>>76329176
Just chew gum, you’ll learn to hate them otherwise plus a good portion of the calories are in the liquified sugars and fats that end up in your saliva (which is how gum still has calories)
