Name another pleasurable activity that turns in to an addition where you're required to still do it in order to survive? Smoking - nope Drinking alcohol - nope Smoking weed - nope Smoking crack - nope Really any hard drugs - nope Having sex - nope This is angle I see few people think about but has a massive impact on this discussion. All those other activities turn in to "addictions" when you abuse them. All you have to do is stop doing that thing and you can cure that addiction.....but not eating you have to continue to do it to survive.

I don’t care

It’s not an addiction it’s literal lack of self control.

The chemicals you mentioned (weed isn’t even a drug stop it) are very addictive.

The argument you present is one that is meant to help heal the minds of those who struggle with this lack of control. It gives them confidence and I agree with that angle of it.

Want to compare go put a needle in your arm, dealers choice, and you’ll forget food exists.

If it's just a lack of self control, why are people alcoholics? Are you saying you think alcohol is designed to be addictive? I don't like alcohol personally...but I drink socially where appropriate. Why do people smoke weed if they might lose their job? Why would people ever freebase heroin?

Your logic isn't logic'ing broseph.

That said, you missed the point of the post. Food is inherently addictive. So much so, in fact, that people are willing to kill other people for food when it's not available. We are driven biologically to eat and drink as a mode of survival....and that's the point. You can't escape food and if your body craves it, even if you don't require more calories to survive, then there must be something else going on. Hence the food addiction comment.

You need carbs to build muscle


This might be the most ignorant thing I’ve ever read on this site. That’s saying a lot.

Dude, I got this big jug of Whey Carbs for my birthday a few months ago. Bruh, I am SO big now. I quit protein and and just drink the carb shakes. It’s amazing the gains I’ve made.

99% of gym bros would inject raw sewage if some big guy shouted at them and said it would make them huge.

I'll never understand why people take toxic crap like this instead of just eating less, eating healthier, and going for a walk. Same goes for people that have invasive surgeries instead of just eating less.

Willpower Doesn’t Work. This Does.
Dec. 28, 2025
By Angela Duckworth

There is a children’s story I used to read to my daughters when they were 3 and 4 years old. It comes from Arnold Lobel’s “Frog and Toad” series and involves a big batch of cookies so delicious that the main characters can’t stop eating them.

“We need willpower,” says Frog. “What is willpower?” asks Toad.

“Willpower is trying hard not to do something that you really want to do,” says Frog.

Even at their young ages, my daughters nodded in recognition when, earlier in the story, Frog says to Toad, “I think we should stop eating. We will soon be sick.” And both girls smiled sympathetically when we turned the page and watched Frog and Toad declare that they would eat “one last cookie,” only to succumb to temptation, again and again.

Grown-ups, too, understand this struggle. In surveys, American adults have cited lack of willpower as the top barrier to changing behavior. Around the world, when adults have rated themselves on two dozen positive qualities, self-control has ranked dead last. Research also shows that exercising willpower feels pretty awful, whether you are resisting something fun or forcing yourself to do something un-fun.

Especially at this time of year, when holiday treats and year-end sales confront us at every turn, willing ourselves to resist can feel Scrooge-like. So we indulge. Then, come January, millions of us set New Year’s resolutions with fierce determination, only to abandon them by February.

The logical solution seems obvious: Try harder. Strengthen your willpower muscle. “Just say no,” as Nancy Reagan admonished my generation. “Just do it,” as Nike urges. Yet, as a psychologist who studies how people achieve their goals, I see the data leading to the opposite conclusion: Willpower is overrated.
