Getting ripped seems easy when ex-fat people turned fitness gurus bombard you with miracle diets: the keto, the paleo, the raw veganintermittent fasting, the teto, the real fooding…

It seems like they've declared war on one of life's greatest pleasures: eating. But if they wanted a laugh… in this post we'll give it back to them. Here are two bowls.

We officially declare war on diets (as they have been foisted upon us).

Based on scientific studies from the University of MisC. O. (Jones)? No, rather because of the escalation of eating disorders that we see in men.

As you can imagine, they skyrocketed since the pandemic, they are under-reported because people are ashamed to go to the doctor due to social stigma, and they are under-treated because there isn't much historical background either... a bit of a mess, really.

In everyday terms, all these disorders are grouped under the umbrella of what is called manorexiaIt comes in many forms and colors. The most well-known is muscle dysmorphia (which idealizes muscle dysmorphia or the Hulk body); but there are also others such as orthorexia (or an obsession with eating 100% healthy), male anorexia, and so on.

And beyond the physical consequences, it's obvious that manorexia is associated with mental health issues. long term derived from wanting to show off a more normative fashion figure than the ones you'd find in the showers at Las Encinas.

In short, we too swallow whole the marketing stereotype of the muscle-bound yet incredibly thin guy, and just like in the cosmetics industry, The diet industry pushes impossible standards and promises on us. to try to sell us the new trendy routine.

So you don't get ripped off, here's our Top 4 red flags 🚩🚩🚩

...that raise our eyebrows in the world of diets:

1. Forbidden foods (forbid me this)

Bananas for the sugar, a beer and some patatas bravas on a Friday because it's not 'cheat day', carbs only on Sunday…

Really? If the diet is more controlling than your parents were when you discovered binge drinking, we don't want it even if they try to force it on us by making airplane noises.

2. Food #fuckingboring

Ladies and gentlemen, the menu for the rest of your life: for lunch, broccoli and steamed chicken, raw carrots mid-morning, and a salad with zero-calorie yogurt for dinner.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, but some of these diets They kill you with boredom while you're still alive.

3. Diets that think we are David Muñoz

Welcome to Masterchef.You have 4 hours to prepare meals for the rest of the week, a ton of wild ingredients, 20 different dishes, the sink is overflowing... and the air fryer electricity bill is through the roof.

If you spend all day working like a dog… getting home and taking a pizza out of the freezer isn't a cardinal sin: It's survival.

4. An online masterclass before each meal

2 hours in the supermarket reading labels, the calculator in front to count calories, the app that separates foods without any scientific basis into good, so-so and really bad... the Excel spreadsheet in which you write down everything you eat.

Seriously, for less time investment you could have a doctorate under your arm (and a good one, not like the ones politicians get).

In conclusion, less about losing weight and more about overcoming shame.

Now that the months of revealing outfits are coming, with Hawaiian shirts open to the navel and repeating the mantra that life is short…

We have the perfect excuse to unveil all those nasty little things that have fueled our fears and shame until now, to finally accept our bodies as they are… and to embrace how we want to be from now on.

Without stress, external pressures, or tyrannical diets.
Because eating well shouldn't be at odds with enjoying yourself.

So let's go on a diet of diets and let's eat this little piece of the world that we have in front of us with enthusiasm and without complexes, because it's about time.

P.S.And for those who are still hungry… This post is sponsored by a cream that can't be missing from the only diet we really love: the ice cream cone diet.

GiggleberriesA moisturizing, deodorizing cream with a candy-like scent for your 🍆 and the nights of intense naughtiness at the table, in the kitchen or wherever you end up eating.

We do cool right,
