A 38-page PDF, built like my posts so it's easy to read on a phone.

Don't work against yourself

A long weekend away can undo a lot of a good month if there's no plan for it.

None of them stands alone. Lose sleep and hunger gets louder. The guide shows how they connect.

What's inside.

  • Each pillar as its own chapter: what it is, the numbers to aim for, and where it usually goes wrong.
  • The studies behind each number, cited on the page, so you can check them yourself.
  • Why fast and slow weight loss end up in the same place, and what decides whether it stays off.
  • A plan sheet at the end to fill in for your own week.
