First meal of the Day. Sbonge Dinangwe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the conversation, Dhlomo quickly cautioned his friend against adopting the diet without proper guidance.<\/p>\n<p>He urged Phenduka to seek professional advice instead of relying on opinions circulating online.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t eat once a day, bruh. That\u2019s unhealthy. Don\u2019t listen to uneducated opinions. Consult a dietician,\u201d Dhlomo wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Phenduka, known for his humour, pushed back with a playful response that referenced how earlier generations lived.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow did our ancestors survive? Definitely not on 3 meals a day,\u201d he replied.<\/p>\n<p>Dhlomo was quick to respond, adding: \u201cThey ate at least twice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Phenduka also shared a photo of his first meal of the day, which consisted of two large pieces of pork.<\/p>\n<p>Some followers questioned whether the portion and food choice aligned with a healthy weight-loss plan, while others focused on Dhlomo\u2019s warning about extreme dieting.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Yey I was so hungry .
