The basics
Three levers matter most.
Build meals around protein
Protein, high-fiber carbohydrates, and colorful produce make a plate that holds hunger longer than snack-style grazing.
Move every day
Walking, lifting, cycling, or active errands all count. The best movement plan is the one you can repeat next week.
