I tend to eat like OMAD without even intending to. My alarm goes off 5 minutes before I start work, so no breakfast, I rarely bother with lunch, and then I’ll eat my daily meal at night. Probably shouldn’t do it right before bed, but what are you gonna do?

Never make lifestyle choices based on something you see on Reddit.

Came here for the awesomeness of that Kirby cover.
Stayed for the OMAD. I find - in my self-imposed isolation - I simply do not need the calories and am perfectly satisfied with one meal in the afternoon. Something substantial like beans and rice or some (fresh-caught) grilled fish and homegrown veggies.
Perhaps a tiny nosh at cocktail hour (5pm martini paired with fresh veggie bites - radishes, cukes, sweet pea pods) and that wraps it up. Has worked for me and I am not gaining weight, even with the slower activity. Fishing and working in the garden do make me hungry, but not like I need to constantly refuel with calorific snacks.
obvs, YMMV. You do you.

This tidbit is a great example of why I read Boing Boing.

I’ve been kinda doing OMAD on and off for, like, a significant portion of my life. If I call it anything I call it “eating like a snake” but mostly I call it “oh shit did I forget to eat for a day and a half again, oh fuck there’s nothing to fix in the house and everywhere I’d wanna order from is closed”.
I can’t really recommend it, the older I get the more I find that I’m super bitchy when I haven’t eaten in about twelve hours or so, and not even in a way that’s fun to be bitchy.

Speaking of SEO, a friend was asking me today about nth-hand advice they’d heard about getting ranked higher in searches. And I suddenly realised why I find the idea of SEO so annoying: it’s a whole industry based on the question “how can I trick the world’s largest advertising company into promoting my business?”

Dermaplaning sounds like extreme shaving. I noticed a few years ago that the parts of my face that I shave don’t get wrinkles. Started expanding my shaving to places with wrinkles but no hair. Seems to be helping.

I used to go to a barber in Singapore who always lathered and “shaved” my forehead. The first time I was worried she was going to shave my eyebrows.

Whenever I see a Kirby-style cover I’m unfamiliar with, I assume it’s a faux-Kirby comic cover used for humorous purposes.

My diet that finally shed the 10+ lbs I picked up after the birth of baby #2 I call NBS: Never Be Stuffed. I eat slowly and listen to my belly. As soon as the edge is off, I stop. I eat whenever I’m legit hungry, but have comletely cut out boredom eating. It also helps that I’m WFH now, so I don’t have an office kitchen with constant cakes and candies on it. Also, I develooed a little high intensity jumping jacks, abs and pull up bar routine that fucks me up in about 20 mins every other nightm
