18 People Revealed Their Health "Cheat Code" Changes, And They're So Realistic And Refreshing
A weight-loss approach used smaller lunches—three slices of sandwich turkey, frozen vegetables, and an orange—while increasing breakfast and dinner portions, with protein kept non-negotiable. One person reported losing about 15 pounds while running 30–40 miles per week and swapping snacks for fruit or lower-calorie options. Another habit involved a 10-minute VR workout before bed using the Supernatural app, with Batman: Arkham Shadow noted as free. Brushing teeth earlier increased sleepiness and reduced late-night food cravings. Learning a food scale and tracking meals in the Cronometer app helped estimate daily calories and macros/micros, and daily weigh-ins improved comfort with normal fluctuations.
"I lost a solid 15 or so pounds, which was considerable given I wasn't overweight, just not where I wanted to be. I started running a lot more (like 30-40 miles a week), trying to replace some of my snack foods with fruit or something more low-calorie, and I think the most helpful thing was limiting my lunch to be smaller (think three slices of sandwich turkey, some frozen vegetables, and an orange) so I could eat bigger breakfasts and dinners and still lose weight. Also, making protein a non-negotiable at meals."
"I use the Supernatural app, but Batman: Arkham Shadow works well and is free. Goes ahead and starts burning calories, which is helpful for a pasta aficionado like me."
