First-Time Patient Tips
Before starting, clear your schedule of social eating events during the first few weeks to allow your body to adjust to the program. Stock up on approved foods and remove tempting items from your home. Prepare mentally for rapid changes and trust the process even if it feels different from other approaches you've tried.
During the program, follow meal timing recommendations exactly and stay well-hydrated throughout the day. Don't skip coaching sessions even if you're doing well - they're crucial for long-term success. Contact your coach immediately if you experience any concerning symptoms or have questions about the program. Remember that temporary hunger is normal as your body adjusts to the new eating pattern.
