As a physician, I’m less interested in how hard a plan feels on day one than whether it still works on day 100.
Severe restriction often fails because it depends on perfect conditions. Hunger, stress, travel, weekends, and plateaus expose a plan that has no flexibility.
The better long-term strategy is not the most extreme plan you can tolerate. It is a structured plan you can repeat, adjust, and live with.
