A way of eating built on what has been studied in people: protein, fibre, saturated fat, how processed the food is, and the timing. Built around what you actually eat and cook rather than around an ideal week nobody keeps.
Plan and follow-up
It starts with a week of what you really eat, written down before it gets tidied up. From there we find the two or three changes that do most of the work: protein, fibre, how much of it is ultra-processed, and when you eat.
