The emphasis on the first 30 days, especially restricting sugar and refined carbs, sets a strong foundation for sustainable habits. Drinking 80-100 ounces of water daily not only aids metabolism but also reduces cravings, making it easier to reduce processed foods.
In my experience, committing to at least 45 minutes of exercise five days a week enhances energy levels and improves mental clarity, which supports sticking to diet goals.
