The Diet You Can Keep
Almost every approach works for twelve weeks. Very few survive a year, and the ones that do have something in common: they resemble how the person already likes to eat, with two or three things changed.
So we start from your kitchen rather than a template. What do you cook, what do you buy, who else eats it, and how much time do you actually have on a Wednesday?
A plan you resent is a plan with an expiry date on it.
Habits That Hold
Protein at breakfast. Vegetables you genuinely like rather than the ones you think you should. A repeatable shopping list. And a rule for eating out that does not require you to opt out of your own social life.
Weight follows from habits held for months, so the habits are the thing we design and the weight is the thing we watch.
Conclusion
Sustainable is not a softer word for slow. It is the only kind of change that is still there next year.
