About

One person. Not a clinic.

I rebuilt this site in September 2026. New voice: neighbor who tried the dumb stuff, then bought a food scale and started walking more.

I am not a registered dietitian. I am not a personal trainer. I am not your doctor. Nothing here is medical advice.

What you get: calorie-gap basics, tools that make the gap less annoying, and blunt “skip this” notes on myths. Numbers from CDC/NIH when I cite public-health ranges. Everything else is labeled rule of thumb, not a lab.

We have not lab-tested products in a university kitchen. Specs and Amazon listings as of September 2026. When links are affiliate, you pay the same and I may earn a cut – see Disclosures.

If you want the short path: Start here.
