If I had to lose 40lbs again, these are 5 underrated habits I’d focus on: 1. Eat the same 3-5 meals on repeat. Find meals you enjoy and look forward to and rotate through them rather than reinventing your diet every day. 2. Have a minimum workout rule. On a bad or busy day, 15-30 minutes is better than nothing. The focus is maintaining the routine. Show up for yourself no matter how motivated you are. 3. Make a grocery list, rather than shopping hungry and buying whatever looks good. Plan your meals for the week (proteins, fat, carbs, vegetables). 4. Pair boring movement with something you love. Put on your favorite podcast or show while you walk or do your cardio of choice. 5. Bulk prep ingredients, not meals. Prep a couple proteins, carbs + veggies separately so you can mix and match them instead of eating the same meal prep container all week.
