Keep it basic enough to repeat
The best diet plan is usually the one you can still follow on your busy Wednesday, not the one that only works in a perfect week. Start with protein at each meal, build around foods you actually like, and stop trying to be impressive with meal prep.
Three anchors that help most members
- Protein with every meal
- Fruit or vegetables at least twice per day
- Planned meals before the day gets chaotic
What to avoid
Do not chase a perfect plan if it breaks apart every weekend. We would rather see a solid plan repeated for three months than an extreme plan abandoned in ten days.
