Building habits that last beyond the medication
The changes that stick are the ones you build while on treatment. Here is how to use this window to set up habits that hold.
Treatment is a window, not the whole story. The habits you build now are what carry the results forward.
Why the window matters
Lower appetite makes it easier to practice the basics: steady protein, real meals, regular movement, and enough water. Practiced often enough, these become defaults rather than effort.
What to focus on
Pick a small number of habits and log them consistently. Protein at each meal, water through the day, and movement you can sustain. Consistency, not intensity, is what holds.
Track the behavior, not just the outcome
Logging the habit itself keeps you honest and gives you and your clinician a record of what is actually happening, week to week.
