Summary
In this episode, we discuss the common mistake people make when creating their daily meal plan: planning for a perfect day without considering inevitable obstacles. Many people set themselves up for failure by making a plan that only works if everything goes smoothly, which rarely happens in the real world. We explore why this approach leads to frustration and failure, and how you can create a more realistic plan that accounts for the challenges and surprises life throws your way. By learning to plan for obstacles and make adjustments as needed, you'll be better equipped to stick to your diet and achieve sustainable weight loss success.
