Dopamine Resistance — an interesting theory about addiction and cravings. Not just food, but smartphone/internet addiction, video game addiction, porn addiction, drug addiction, coffee addiction, news addiction, etc.
Strategies:
- Intermittent fasting
- Avoid environmental cues which ‘trigger’ the undesired addictive behavior.
- Stop consuming sugar (natural or fake), snacks, desserts, etc.
- To extend fasting period in the day, do strenuous exercise or have a strong cup of black coffee.
‘Addiction’ isn’t inherently bad or evil.
I’m addicted to having fun, creating, walking, lifting weights, coffee, etc. To me, the notion of ‘addiction’ shouldn’t be a moralized one. Rather, it is all about YOUR personal life goals.
Think about your desired outcome, then work backwards.
