Night Rebel: How I Defeated Delivery and Became a Protein Titan (a poem about willpower and SEO optimization of life)
Prologue: Midnight. The refrigerator is silent. The stomach declares war. The weight has returned to the mark of three days ago — does it sound boring? But for me, it's a quiet triumph. Because behind the number is a battle worthy of an epic blockbuster. The scene of the first act: 22:00. The hand reaches for the phone. A crispy baguette and sausages with fried eggs in butter are already trembling in the basket — a calorie apocalypse in one click. "Just one order and you're the hero of a gastronomic selfie, but the villain of your own goal." But… Instead of a culinary knockout, a cold calculation is used: 500 g of protein per 250 kcal. Not pretentious? But it's effective. As Nietzsche used to say: "You have to become who you are." And I became the one who eats cottage cheese instead of a baguette at midnight. The nutritionist bursts into the chat (with poems and a GI chart): — Baguette = fast carbohydrates → sugar soars → hunger again in an hour → vicious circle. — Protein = satiety for 3-4 hours + muscle protection → the metabolism does not sleep, but works for you. The moral: Choosing protein is not an ascetic's feat, but smart trading. I exchanged 15 minutes of pleasure for a morning without guilt and +100 energy. A poetic digression (so that the brain does not get bored): "The night was whispering: "Eat the whole world!" But I took a spoon instead of a sword. — White cottage cheese as a shield from troubles, I danced with hunger, without creaking..." Epilogue: Why is it not just about food? Each such victory is a pumping of neural pathways. You're teaching your brain, "Stress is stomach." And it's also SEO optimization of life: instead of the chaotic "key queries" of the body (sugar, fat, salt), you choose high-ranking content (protein, mindfulness, sleep). P.S. And what is your secret to fighting the nighttime "order-not-order"?
