The Hacker's Diet
The Hacker's Diet
The Hacker's Diet (pronunciation: /ˈhækərz daɪət/) is a diet plan created by John Walker, the co-founder of Autodesk. The diet is based on the concept of treating the human body as a complex system that can be monitored and adjusted based on inputs and outputs, much like a computer system.
Etymology
The term "Hacker's Diet" originates from the computer programming community, where "hacker" refers to a skilled programmer who enjoys exploring and manipulating systems. In this context, the "Hacker's Diet" refers to a method of dieting that applies the same principles of system manipulation and exploration to the human body.
Concept
The Hacker's Diet operates on the principle of caloric deficit, which is the concept that weight loss occurs when the number of calories consumed is less than the number of calories expended. The diet encourages individuals to track their caloric intake and expenditure, and adjust their diet and exercise habits based on these measurements.
