To quote Tyson Fury “Im a natural heavyweight. If I do not exercise, I gain weight”.

This is how it is for me. Ive eaten 1 meal a day for a year, and gained 7kg. Ive started exercising again and lost 3kg in 2 weeks.

My thoughts are a bit clearer, I have better mood and better energy. Better libido too! And I can eat my 1 meal without guilt or worry.

Its just 45 minutes of my day.
