Asked how "wide Zozin" became "slim Zozin", Tsoding tells the story reluctantly — he copied a bodybuilder pre-competition cut, it worked, and he thinks it was stupid and dangerous.
He was unhappy with his appearance and decided he had to do something. What he found online was the technique bodybuilders use to strip fat fast before competition: for a week, eat nothing but protein — no carbs, no fats. He stresses this is not keto. Tuna and chicken breast and nothing else. The effect is brutal: no energy from anything, constant brain fog, and your body consuming itself. Fat burns very fast because there is no alternative.
He pairs the warning with the outcome. It worked, and he also started bodyweight exercises at home — push-ups, sit-downs — which accelerated it. The lasting effect surprised him: that brutal week or two reset his eating habits, so he no longer wants to eat much. Part of the trick was that stuffing himself with chicken breast filled his stomach to the point where nothing else physically fit.
The reason he avoids the topic: he's afraid someone will follow his advice and hurt themselves. He repeats that you should not do this without consulting a doctor, and says plainly that he was stupid for doing it and regrets it. He also clears up a persistent rumour — no, he did not have cancer.
He adds an aside that he doesn't dislike overweight people at all; he disliked being overweight himself.
