The key to sustainable weight management lies in extreme simplification and the repetition of daily meals to eliminate decision fatigue and stress related to eating.

The community strongly converges on the idea that routine reduces cognitive load and impulsive choices. Scientifically, this approach is based on the concept of 'decision fatigue' (a theory documented in cognitive psychology, notably by Baumeister et al., through experimental studies on the depletion of cognitive resources), which suggests that limiting choices preserves willpower for important decisions. Observational research on eating behavior also indicates that less food variety can naturally reduce total caloric intake (the sensory-specific satiety effect, validated by studies such as those by Rolls et al.). However, the idea that monotony is the only path to success is an exaggeration; it is a behavioral preference rather than a biological necessity. There is no evidence suggesting that a diet with little variety is superior for metabolic health, as long as nutritional balance is maintained. In summary, this method is an effective organizational strategy for many, but not a sine qua non for weight loss.
