Weekly Adjustments

• Exercise: Incorporate regular exercise, including both cardio (3-4 times per week) and strength training (2-3 times per week). This will enhance fat loss and preserve lean muscle mass.

• Cheat Meals: Allow yourself one cheat meal per week to enjoy your favorite foods in moderation. This can help reduce cravings and increase adherence to the diet.

• Tracking: Use a food diary or an app like MyFitnessPal to track your daily caloric intake and ensure you’re staying within your target range.

Additional Tips

• Mindful Eating: Eat slowly, savor each bite, and listen to your body’s hunger and fullness cues.

• Sleep: Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep per night to support metabolism and recovery.

• Stress Management: Practice stress-reduction techniques like meditation, deep breathing, or yoga to avoid emotional eating.

This plan can be customized further based on your personal preferences, dietary restrictions, and specific weight loss goals.
