Eating Half
Posted on 1/10/26 at 7:09 am

Has anyone tried losing weight by just eating half of what you used to? I made it my theme for 2026 and it is starting g to work a bit. I am hungry sometimes, particularly in the afternoon.
I don’t eat breakfast and eat a half lunch and a half dinner. Sometimes I’ll snack on mixed nuts in between. Just curious if anyone’s had success with this.

Yea pretty much anyone who cuts their calories in half will lose weight.

Imagine if you ate half and exercised

There’s zero chance of this lasting past a few weeks.
Find one of the many threads on counting calories then buy a $30 scale to weigh your food.

Try a lifestyle change instead of a diet. Get the word snack out of your vocabulary.

Mixed nuts are dangerous. Really easy to overdo it and kill any diet success.

Find out what your basal metabolic rate is (i.e. breakeven calories). Pick a macro split that you think is appropriate. Get a tracking app. Pick a calorie level that you think is appropriate based on aforementioned breakeven. Measure your food and track in the app. Profit.

Cut out all the sugars in your diet.
And know that sugar is in a lot of 'foods' that the industrial food complex hides using lots of different names.
Sodas (even diet sodas), energy drinks, sports drinks...
About 80% of all the food-like substances in your local grocery stores is loaded down with sugars, starches, refined flours, all sorts of chemicals like maltodextrin...HFC, fructose...glyphosates and many other pesticides, fungicides, herbicides...
Starchy 'foods' like bread, cereals, biscuits, crackers, pastas, pastries...
Junk with soy protein isolates as an additive is very dangerous that is sprayed with tons of chemicals like glyphosate (round up)
Trans fats like soybean products and seed oils like soy, canola, corn, sunflower, margarine, oleo...
It's in fast foods and restaurants. It's in pre-packaged foods.
*Trans-fats were 'banned' but they have a loophole that the industrialized food industry has.
Here is a tip, if you read hydronated or pre-hydronated on the label, put it back on the shelf. If its in your pantry or refrigerator, throw it out. That stuff is garbage.
