What is the perfect diet for cutting. if willpower wasnt an

What works for me OP are foods with a high ratio of water to macros or a high ratio of fibre to macros. Both make you feel full but have very few calories. Most culinary vegetables do this with the exception of the starchy ones, and rarely the fatty ones. Ones to avoid are avocados, potatoes, pumpkin... I just roasted a huge batch of cauliflowers, eggplants, tomatoes, onions, mushrooms, and parsnip last week. I spent the whole week eating it. I felt full most of the time, it had very little calories but still other micronutrients, and it cost me like $10.

I try to get all of my carbs from lentils and root vegetables.

I eat the same things everyday. Bland and boring but that's part of willpower.

My fat friends are like "how can you eat that? That's so boring!" Variety is what made you fat.

Ketogenic

keep insulin low, fiber high. lots of water. low carbs if not keto.

Insulin controls the uptake of glucose into your fat and muscle cells, so keeping insulin levels low in theory prevents excessive uptake of the foods you eat into your fat cells for storage. The only time you in theory want to be spiking insulin throughout the day is during your post-workout meal, since in theory your muscle cells will preferentially receive more insulin to deposit more glucose there to restore lost energy stores. Insulin is released in response to eating carbohydrates, with different carbohydrates causing different "severity" of reaction - this is measured by the glycemic index of a given food. These factors are all the basis for cyclical ketogenic dieting combined with intermittent fasting - the theory is by doing this you make optimal use of your macros to naturally manipulate your hormone levels on any given day for gains of almost strictly lean mass.

what about protein for vegan diets
