Background: Obesity is a major health problem in developed as well as developing countries. The “carbo–insulinconnection” theory was popularized to reduce burden of obesity. As per this theory, idea of eating only twice a day to lose weight and prevent obesity is well proved. After knowing it, the author is conducting lectures for lay people educating them about eating twice a day with WFPD(whole food plant based diet) and losing weight. Author has addressed audiences in many places of Berhampur. The present study provides the encouraging results of this public health campaign.

Methods: This study was a self–controlled community trial. The tenure of the study was from

1st February 2016 to 30th Jan 2017. The subjects were enrolled in the study after taking their informed consent during the author’s lectures on weight loss arranged in various cities and towns of GanjamDiatrict Odisha. The author got pretested questionnaires filled from the audience who attended his lectures on weight loss. The follow up was done on phone every fortnightly. Total 152 individuals participated in this campaign.

This simple method of weight loss costs nothing, there is no requirement of a doctor and contrary to many other successful methods of weight loss, can be followed for a life time. Hence such a simple method should be advocated for all. There is a need to spread this message in the form of a public health campaign.
