The minimalist eater has simplified everything: fewer foods, fewer decisions, fewer rules, less mental energy spent on eating. Complexity creates its own work — more to weigh, more to optimize, more to keep track of. Simplicity creates peace. A handful of meals you rotate through. A clear eating window. No elaborate tracking. Just eating — simply, adequately, without mental overhead.

Known defects on this page:
- em dashes were set without spaces The site's style spaces its dashes; 351 pages carried them un-spaced, and every one was corrected.
- more pages still describe willpower as a draining tank More pages describe willpower as a tank that empties — the same unsettled research, found by searching for the claim instead of the citation
- decision fatigue is presented as settled science Pages assert decision fatigue as settled where the science is contested
- We overuse the em dash in our prose. We use the em dash more often than easy reading allows, and we are changing how we punctuate.
