In this week’s video, I broke down what actually drives fat loss—not another diet, but the underlying drivers that all diets that work are tapping into.

There are two hunger “fuel tanks”:

  • Protein hunger → your body will keep eating until it gets enough protein

  • Physical fullness → your stomach needs to feel full (volume)

Most diets solve one.
Very few solve both.

That’s why:

  • Carnivore works → it crushes protein hunger

  • Some vegan diets work → they rely on calorie dilution (high volume, low calorie foods)

But the best approach is obvious once you see it:

High protein + calorie dilution = automatic fat loss with minimal hunger

🍽️ The Missing Piece

High protein foods are obvious.

Calorie-diluted sides are not.

So here’s a list of the top 20 calorie-diluted sides, organized by how effectively they fill you up relative to calories.

🥇Top Tier (Maximum Calorie Dilution)

(extremely high volume, very hard to overeat)

  1. Potatoes (white, boiled or baked)

  2. Sweet potatoes

  3. Zucchini

  4. Cauliflower

  5. Broccoli

  6. Cabbage

  7. Spinach

  8. Mushrooms

👉 These are loaded with water + fiber and take up serious space in your stomach.

🥈High Tier (Very Strong Fullness per Calorie)

  1. Carrots

  2. Green beans

  3. Asparagus

  4. Bell peppers

  5. Tomatoes

  6. Eggplant

👉 Slightly more calories, still very high volume and hard to overeat.

🥉Moderate Tier (Good Support Foods)

  1. Apples

  2. Berries

  3. Oranges

  4. Oats (cooked with water)

  5. Lentils

  6. Black beans

👉 These bring:

  • fiber

  • some carbs

  • and still decent volume

Not as extreme as vegetables, but still effective. The real difference

💣How to Use This (Simple)

Build meals like this:

  • Protein first (meat, eggs, etc.)

  • Then add one or two of these sides

That’s it.
