Jeremy Ethier breaks down the CPB diet: chicken, potatoes, broccoli, carrots, one tablespoon oil per meal. Yellow potatoes score three times higher for fullness than white bread. The monotony resets your dopamine and kills cravings. One person went from binge-eating to struggling to eat enough in 30 days.
This is the world's most boring diet, and it took Max from this to this in just 30 days. It's called the CPB diet. Unlimited food, no calorie counting, just 3 simple rules. Rule number 1: for the next 30 days, you can only eat chicken breast, yellow potatoes, broccoli, and carrots, but you can eat as much of them as you want. Rule number 2: get a maximum of 1 tablespoon of olive oil per meal. And rule number 3: basic seasoning is allowed, but no sugar, liquid calories, diet sodas, or artificial sweeteners. It sounds crazy, but here's the science behind it. First, potatoes. Yellow potatoes are one of the most filling foods on the planet, scoring 3 times higher for fullness than the same amount of calories coming from white bread. And when you pair that with broccoli and carrots, it becomes physically difficult to overeat. Second, the brain reset. Tasty food gives us a hit of dopamine and keeps us coming back for more. By keeping your diet boring and limiting variety, that reward system gradually dies. It's how in 30 days Max went from binge eating at buffets to struggling to eat enough. And lastly, chicken breast. Eating this every meal is what protected Max's muscle as he quickly lost fat. And if you're vegan, you can swap this for tofu.
