🍽️ One Food. One Meal. Hopefully big Results.
Simple changes can lead to surprising wins.
Last night, as I ate a my steak, chicken, bacon and egg dinner with no cheese—that small choice got me thinking…
If dropping cheese helped so much, what would happen if I took it a step further and ate only one kind of food per meal?
So today, I tried it: just beef. Four small steaks. No bacon, no chicken, no eggs. Just one food. One plate. One experiment.
I’m calling it OFAD—One Food A Day.
Why? Because fewer foods = fewer toxins to deal with = easier recovery for the body. I figure giving each food a few rest days before eating it again could help my system reset and clean out. And that constant shift keeps my body guessing, which may keep weight loss moving instead of slowing down.
Daily Progress
Here’s how I’m doing today, having implemented this no-cheese idea for the last 2 days:
Weight Loss
| Date | Weight (lbs) |
| Weight Goal | 176.4 (80.0 kg) |
| 8 May 2025 – Worst day | 207.2 (94 kg) |
| 10 May 2025 – Day 1 | 203.5 (92.3 kg) |
| 16 May 2025 – Week 1 | 198.2 (89.9 kg) |
| 17 May 2025 – Day 8 | 196.2 (89 kg) |
| 18 May 2025 – Day 9 | 202.2 (91.7 kg) |
| 19 May 2025 – Day 10 | 205.7 (93.3 kg) |
| 20 May 2025 – Day 11 | 205.7 (93.3 kg) |
| 21 May 2025 – Day 12 | 199.5 (90.5 kg) |
| 22 May 2025 – Day 13 | 197.3 (89.5 kg) |
📉 Today’s Change: -2.2 lbs (1 kg)
📉 Total Loss (in 13 days): -9.9 lbs (-4.5 kg)
📉 Average Loss Per Day: -0.76 lbs (-0.35 kg)
In just 2 days without cheese, I’ve lost 8.4 lbs. That’s no fluke. It’s worth paying attention to.
Blood Pressure (BP)
| Date | BP – Before Food (Best of 3) | BP – Before Food (Worst of 3) | Average |
| BP Goal | 120/80 | ||
| 12 Apr / 24 Apr 25 – Worst days | 134/86 | 161/88 | 147.5/87 |
| 10 May 25 – Day 1 | 151/86 | 168/88 | 159.5/87 |
| 16 May 25 – Wk 1 | 133/83 | 150/94 | 141.5/88.5 |
| 17 May 25 – Day 8 | 146/97 | 152/97 | 149/97 |
| 18 May 25 – Day 9 | 138/86 | 149/89 | 143.5/87.5 |
| 19 May 20 – Day 10 | 116/73 | 124/76 | 120/74.5 |

| 21 May 20 – Day 12 | 139/87 | 149/88 | 144/87.5 |
| 22 May 20 – Day 13 | 125/93 | 142/92 | 133.5/92.5 |
💪 Today’s Systolic Change (1st number): -10.5
💪 Today’s Diastolic Change (2nd number): +5
I’ve only just touched the 140/90 line that I chose as my make-break point, so I’m not taking any meds today. Sometimes routine helps. Sometimes responding to the moment is better. I haven’t figured this one out yet—but today I’m listening to my body more than the calendar.
Blood Glucose
| Date | Blood Glucose – Before Food (mmol/L) |
| Blood Glucose Goal | 4.2 |
| 23 Apr 2025 – Worst day | 7.4 |
| 10 May 2025 – Day 1 | 6.4 |
| 17 May 2025 – Week 1 | 4.4 |
| 18 May 2025 – Day 8 | 5.6 |
| 19 May 2025 – Day 9 | 6.8 |
| 19 May 2025 – Day 10 | 6.2 |
| 20 May 2025 – Day 11 | 6.1 |
| 21 May 2025 – Day 12 | 5.3 |
| 22 May 2025 – Day 13 | 5.6 |
📊 Today’s Change: -0.8 mmol/L
📊 Days in Normal Range (3.9–5.6 mmol/L): 6 out of 13
Back in pre-diabetic range—unexpected.
This one surprised me. Once I’m low-carb, I usually stay in the normal range. It’s rare for me to bounce back into pre-diabetic territory like this. But again, that’s why I track. Data over drama.
🌟 OFAD: One Food. One Meal. One Win.
This might be more than a tweak—it could be a breakthrough. OFAD simplifies everything: fewer decisions, fewer toxins, and less chance to overeat. I don’t know how far this will go yet, but today, it’s already made things cleaner, easier, and more effective.
✅ Eliminate to Accelerate
Want faster weight loss, better energy, and fewer cravings? Try simplifying your diet to just one whole food at each meal. Whether it’s beef, eggs, or fish—give your body one clean input, and see what it does. Discipline isn’t about doing more—it’s about doing less, better.
See You Tomorrow! 😊
Warmly,
Paul
