Fridge is always empty. Want snacks? Too bad, only water available, nothing you can do at 2AM

24/7 gym open so I have no excuses No alcohol, only espressos. No snacks, only lunch + maybe dinner, sometimes meat, if there are sugar cravings only honey on rice cakes.

Lost 22 kilos since October with 7 more to go, everything is so sweet to me at this stage and I have no need for sugar.

Most significant life improvement I have ever had, even better than using vim + tmux



These stood out for me:

> No snacks, only lunch + maybe dinner.

As someone in their 40s who writes code for a living, I've discovered that eating three reasonable-sized meals is actually way too many calories for me. These days, I often only drink water till lunch.

> even better than using vim + tmux

Indeed, I'm confident that exercise provides long-term returns that exceed even this dynamic duo.


> everything is so sweet to me at this stage and I have no need for sugar.

That's me. Without needing to compete with manufactured junk food fruit practically becomes candy.
