According to a 2016 study, a lower diversity of gut bacteria is associated with obesity and abdominal fat, highlighting the importance of dietary variety for metabolic health. This raises a critical question: can a monotonous diet, even a seemingly healthy one, truly provide all the body's needs?

According to a 2022 study published in the *Journal of Consumer Psychology*, many people consume the same breakfast meal repeatedly due to utilitarian goals like convenience and efficiency. When a person eats the same food every day, it could be a simple, deliberate choice or, in more extreme cases, may be linked to a psychological condition such as Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID).

According to a study published in the journal *Appetite*, dietary variety can lead to increased overall energy intake, often resulting in weight gain. For many, the idea of a monotonous diet seems unappealing, but there are compelling reasons why you should eat the same thing every day to improve your health, save time, and reduce decision fatigue.
