Hi everyone, kinda new here but I figure I should share my personal experiment in the guys room since it involves "strange" elements.
I’ve noticed my cut stalls whenever the late-night dopamine loop hits: doom-scroll, snack, repeat. Decided to run a one-week reset to see if trimming *stimulation calories* can help actual calories.
**Reset checklist**
□ 8 p.m. screen cap: phone goes in desk drawer, watchface only.
□ 90 % whole-food rule (any “fun food” must fit before 2 p.m.).
□ 3-min cold rinse after workouts.
□ Picked up a silicone cage to keep wandering hands + browser tabs in check. (if you're wondering where it goes, the cage is from a funny shop called lockthecock so I'll let you figure that out)
□ Lights-out meditation playlist, then bed.
**Tracking**
• Target intake: 1,950 kcal
• Steps: >10 k daily
• Sleep (Oura): aiming +45 min average
• Craving score (1–5) each night
**Starting numbers (Day 0)**
Weight: 164 lb
Waist: 31.8″
Sleep: 6 h 05 m avg
Cravings after 9 p.m.: 4/5
I’ll loop back on Day 4 with a quick note (good, bad, ugly), then final results on Day 7. Anyone tried something similar—phone jail, NoFap streaks, cold therapy—to rein in nighttime nibbling? Drop tips!
Cheers
