How do you get the discipline to eat clean?

Im too poor for stuff that isnt giving me gains. I feel like shit tge more sugar and less complex carbs i eat. I put in too much effort to let my diet fuck uo my energy levels.

I know how to cook so the clean food I make tastes good.

Ever since I started lifting eating right just automatically happened.

Eating like shit hurts your gains and you can actually feel your performance tank if you haven't been eating right.

You’re confusing discipline (something you haven’t experienced) with desire (something you have). You falsely assume that disciplined individuals just like it more, have more energy, more motivation, it’s somehow an easier decision for them. It does get easier, but only because you get used to it and know what it takes. At first, exercising discipline is the same struggle you feel every time — but choosing the right path instead. Even if you’re tested every 30 seconds (often the case when the subconscious expects while the conscious denies) you make the right choice, and over days, weeks, months, you will see it gets easier. But it’s never going to be “more pleasant,” at least not in that way. You just learn to derive your satisfaction from other areas, such as the rewards for your efforts.

I'm an adult, i can do without sauces, ultra-processed and cola/7up and still very much enjoy my diet. Besides water Theres coffee so that helps a ton too.

bad food=early illnesses/cancer/death
good food=feel better/live longer/lift more/get more pussy

Because I have goals, self control and self respect.

And because I can cook better tasting & healthier food than the slop merchants

Its either you want to eat clean or you don't. Don't try to search for answers on how to do something you don't really want to do. For once in your life, take control of your life or just keep blaming other things controlling it.

I think "awwww shit i need to blow my money on pussy not sloppy, awww fuck im a total loser im just gonna scramble a dozen eggs I don't deserve to play around with food!" But also I only have 1 stove top so if it's not a 1 skillet meal I have to let shit get cold etc.

Honestly, you just have to say no enough times. I love many of the things I don't eat or drink and I still crave them sometimes (rarely), but whenever there is temptation it's a really small sacrifice for me to not give in, and the feeling of resisting that temptation is equally satisfying. Also, I get a lot more satisfaction out of eating regular, clean foods. I love everything I cook for myself, I can't even think of many better things I would like to eat.

The only thing that worked for me was becoming convinced that the (((food industry))) is literally poisoning us. Our ideal gut biome could make us supermen, but early on we get exposed to all kinds of things that nuke anything good we had (if we had it, since it depends on your parents, mainly your mother and how she took care of herself during pregnancy, if she was a bitch and opted for c-section, if she breastfed you or wanted to ruin your life, etc).
With that in mind it becomes easy to eat only clean food, to at least do some damage control.

I hate how I look when I'm not lean.

>>76330214 (OP)
I don't, I eat like shit

>>76330214 (OP)
I just look down on people that don't eat clean, so much so that I get a strong feeling of disgust when I see the food they eat.
