It’s wild how many people struggle with something that’s basically simple math.
That’s not entirely their fault. We’ve been bombarded—nonstop—by ads, headlines, and marketing dressed up as “health advice.”
If you weigh 100 kg and want to get to 70 kg, ask a kid how to do it.
They’ll say: eat less.
But as adults?
We sign up for gym memberships.
Buy expensive “health” food.
Swallow diet pills.
And somehow end up eating even more junk than before.
The reality is much simpler.
Cut down how often you eat.
Try intermittent fasting.
Start by skipping breakfast.
Then maybe lunch.
Eventually, just one solid meal a day.
Eat less—but eat real food.
Less sugar.
Less greasy, ultra-processed stuff.
“But won’t I have less energy? Less time?”
Actually, the opposite happens.
You end up with:
- a healthier body
- more energy
- more time
- more money in your pocket
Then comes the fear:
“If I eat twice a day, won’t my body absorb more and make me fatter?”
That fear is marketing. Pure brainwashing.
For most of human history, we didn’t eat three meals a day. Our ancestors were hunters. On good days, they feasted. On bad days, they ate very little—whatever they could grow or find.
So what changed?
Corporations.
Imagine if people stopped eating breakfast.
Cereal companies would collapse overnight.
Instead, companies like Kellogg’s make billions by repeating:
“Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.”
Is it?
Or is it just the most profitable?
First, they sell you cereal.
Then you gain weight.
Then you pay for the gym.
The cycle continues.
So don’t just consume information—understand it.
Test it yourself.
I did intermittent fasting.
No breakfast.
No lunch.
Lunch used to make me sleepy anyway—problem solved.
I just eat a bigger dinner.
“Won’t that make you fat?”
Funny thing—my stomach is literally shrinking.
I can’t eat huge portions anymore.
Sometimes I eat a bit more.
Sometimes I use a hotel breakfast buffet voucher and enjoy it.
But I don’t do it every day.
And I don’t feel controlled by food anymore.
That’s the real win.
