Stressful weeks will happen. Your strategy should adjust — not disappear.
Instead of trying to “do more,” focus on protecting the basics:
• Eat protein at every meal. Keep it simple and consistent.
• Drink water regularly. Don’t wait until you’re exhausted or overly hungry.
• Sleep at least 7 hours. Protect your bedtime like an appointment.
• Choose short workouts. 20–30 minutes of strength or a walk is enough.
• Keep meals structured. Avoid skipping and then overeating later.
• Do not over-restrict. Extreme dieting increases stress and cravings.
During high-stress periods, simplify your routine.
Maintain structure, reduce intensity, and stay consistent.
Small disciplined actions during stressful weeks protect long-term progress.
