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

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.

You fall off the wagon yet? Let me know when you have gorged yourself…it’s coming.

It's simple math. Calories in - calories out. If that is a negative number, you'll lose weight. Ideally you would be eating healthy foods and working out so you don't get skinny fat

With one caveat: Having too low a calorie intake for an extended time slows your metabolism.
Better to keep your intake at 1200 and be patient.

I’ll snack on mixed nuts
I gained almost 20lbs in one semester "snacking" on mixed nuts during a horrible class twice a week. Beware.

mixed nuts
I've been delaying breakfast and more strict on carbs, no food after 6:00 PM, less alcohol, etc.
BUT, I've been eating too many cashews at work!!
NO MORE!

I tried that but then my iron levels and B vitamin levels got really low
But I’m female so maybe that’s different for men

so 1 thing...being female and having a lower tdee, you are going to have less wiggle room and going to have to be a little more rigid for the most part to be optimal. key is optimal. if you just want to lose weight not caring from what are what vitamin levels are etc...yea it works, otherwise need to weigh and track prioritizing protein...I know you are prolly thinking yipppee

prioritizing protein
It’s just that I can’t have too much iodine bc of my hyperthyroidism
