Crash diets work for a few weeks and then fall apart. A steady approach lasts longer.
The core idea is a modest calorie gap that you can live with for months, not days.
Four habits to start with
- Eat protein at every meal
- Walk daily and add strength training twice a week
- Sleep seven to eight hours
- Weigh yourself weekly and look at the trend, not one day
Keep it simple
Change one habit at a time. When it feels automatic, add the next one.
