Episode notes
Safe Weight Loss Rate
- Aim to lose no more than 1% of your body weight per week to minimize muscle loss.
- Adjust this percentage as your weight changes, understanding it's a sliding scale.
Incremental Goals
- Instead of fixating on a target weight, set incremental goals and reassess your progress.
- This "stick or twist" approach allows flexibility and prevents discouragement.
Tracking Progress
- Track weight trends over weeks and months, not just daily fluctuations.
- Consider other metrics like clothing fit, progress pictures, and how you feel.
