Built around a rate rather than a target date, because a rate is the only part you control. The routines are deliberately small and the review is monthly, since weekly weight moves for reasons that have nothing to do with the plan.

✦ It comes with a note

Slow and boring

Weight moves week to week for reasons that have nothing to do with the plan — salt, sleep, hydration. Reacting to that noise is how people abandon something that was working.\n\nA plateau after a good stretch is the normal shape of this. When it happens, change one thing rather than everything.

Questions

Lose weight, answered.

Because weight moves week to week for reasons unrelated to the plan — salt, sleep, hydration — and reacting to that noise is how people abandon something that was working. A month is roughly the shortest honest signal.
