Yes, I have body dysmorphia. I’ve accepted it.❤️💯

I notice EVERYTHING. The smallest water retention. Puffiness. Bloating. Every tiny change in my body.

But regardless of dysmorphia, people constantly ask me the same question:

How did you lose weight, and what actually worked?

DISCIPLINE — every single day:

1. NO SUGAR. Including hidden sugars. Read the ingredients.
2. ZERO PROCESSED FOOD. No smoked fish, processed turkey, sausages, packaged “fitness” food, ready-made meals. I eat simple, whole, no processed ingredients.
3. NO DAIRY. NO CHEESE. I personally retain more water with dairy, so it’s out. If I really want it, it can be a rare cheat — not part of my daily diet.
4. NO ALCOHOL. For me: unnecessary calories, puffiness, water retention, and worse body definition.
5. TRACK YOUR CALORIES & MACROS. Guessing is not tracking.
6. PROTEIN FIRST. Every meal is built around protein.
7. KEEP FOOD SIMPLE. Protein + slow carbs + a controlled amount of vegetables and fiber.
8. FRUIT IS OPTIONAL. For me, it’s nature’s candy — I eat it when I want something sweet, not because I “have to.”
9. TWO MEALS. NO CONSTANT SNACKING. Structure makes discipline easier for me.
10. WATER + ELECTROLYTES. 
Hydration 💧matters, especially when you train.
11. MOVE EVERY DAY. Strength training, cardio, walking. No negotiation.

My body didn’t change because I found a secret.

It changed because I stopped negotiating with myself.

You don’t need another diet.

You need rules you can actually follow — and the discipline to follow them consistently.

This keeps the strict, no-excuses energy without presenting your personal rules as something everyone medically has to follow.

*🥪 I ate bread 8 hours before this photo. I can already see the swelling and water retention. Probably no one else can. That’s how my body dysmorphia sees it.🤪
