When I get fast food, I don’t eat the fries until I get home.
What is good about not eating the fries until you get home? Did you think the benefits would be self-evident to everyone?
Whenever I see on Youtube Shorts something too crazy to be true, I immediately do a quick research and don’t stop until I have three sources (counting wikipedia) to corroborate the information.
Make and bring my lunch to work every day. It takes planning and discipline, but over a year, saves me about $12/day, or $3,130 a year.
I wake up and before I get out of bed, I put on some TENS pads and shock my back for some minutes before I do a set of stretches. I’m 42 and I have an active job lifting stuff, if I don’t stretch every morning I’m going to have a very bad rest of the week.
I brush my teeth and floss every night before going to sleep.
Flossing! I floss frequently. I floss more than I brush my teeth (yuck) but it works. Logic behind the lack of brushing is that in the morning I’m drinking coffee and running out the door. At night, sometimes I fall asleep before I brush. But I have floss on my desk at work and in my coffee table at home (as well as obviously in the bathroom with my toothbrush). My dentist can’t even tell I miss brushing at times. But can definitely tell I floss regularly.
You don’t have to floss all your teeth, just the ones you want to keep.
I mostly get naked in private
I weigh 175lbs naked, but you really can’t trust those grocery store scales.
I get mostly naked in private. I get naked in mostly private. Mostly I get naked in private.
I say the opposite: fries get cold too fast, they SHOULD be eaten before you get home.
Heated seats ftw.
Doing my job consistently enough to pay my bills
First thing I do once I’ve checked into the workplace is to itemize what I’d like to get done today. And I list a bunch but they’re priorities and not requirements. So I have 8 on the list knowing I’ll only do 3 and then 5 will carry.
And I forgive myself if something comes up and it hoses my achievements. And I refer to it often as I get unfocused fast.
Keeps me on track.

Is the fry thing really your best habit?
Do something new everyday.
Aren’t they cold by then?
The best (IMO) fast food place by me isn’t exactly close. By the time I get home I have to nuke fries and burger. 🤷🏼♂️ Still didn’t have to cook or do dishes!
You need an air fryer. The fries will be back to crispy.
Potatoes when cooked then cooled actually greatly lowers the glycemic index, so it’s weird but actually not a bad habit to have!
Maybe true, but they still taste nasty when cold
I prefer them fresh but if needed, I retoast them when I get home especially with undercooked fries like Wendy’s . Ensures they are hot and crispy
Interestingly enough, my local Wendy’s has the best fries out of any fast food chains I’ve tried. They are consistently perfectly crisp and salted. Better than how I even remember McDonald’s fries in their heyday.
I do know that Wendy’s leaves more up to their franchisees than some places, so maybe I just got lucky with the people who own the one by me.
Im not sure if it counts as a habit, but i never eat fast food
If that doesnt count: i always wash my hands before touching food
Same, as I’ve gotten older I’ve realized I don’t need to eat so much anymore
Everytime I get a meal with vegetables I eat that first no matter what else is on the plate. I think of it working my way to the best part of the meal
Nice. My dad is always a firm believer of eating vegetables last to help with digestion, but there are benefits both ways lol
I brought this article up to him a while ago and while he’s pretty set on his routine he has changed it up a little if he really wants to enjoy a steak or something as the last bite.
Great article, thanks for sharing.
TL;DR
"…push refined carbohydrates to the end of the meal to help reduce post-meal blood glucose levels and keep you feeling fuller longer.
Consider these tips:
Start with high-fiber, low-calorie foods with high water content, such as soups, vegetables and fruits. They’ll fill you up and limit the sugar you take in on an empty stomach.
Choose soluble fibers, such as nuts or beans, to slow digestion and possibly lower your risk of heart disease.
Eat plant-based proteins, which increase your fiber intake and lead to greater satiety.
Save high-fat foods for after fiber and protein since they affect heart health and don’t help with satiety."
When I’m really dragging at work I take a nap.
