Avoid treating a number as a rule for everyone.
An exact calorie target or duration from another person’s program is not a personal recommendation. Talk with your coach about your own plan and ask how it will be reviewed.
Keep regular reviews in the routine.
Explain how you are following the plan and what you find difficult. Check-ins give you a chance to ask questions before making larger changes yourself.
Bring health concerns to the right professional.
Speak with your doctor before starting when you have a medical condition or other concern. Coaching does not replace healthcare advice, and this resource does not prescribe a diet duration or clinical response.
