Change one thing at a time
Pick one change for two to four weeks, then add another. Ten changes at once rarely survive the first stressful week.
Eight small habits
- Add before you remove. Add a vegetable or fruit to a meal.
- Eat at regular times. It makes cravings and overeating easier to manage for many people.
- Drink water. Keep a bottle in sight (see the water habit).
- Plan two or three meals a week. A short list prevents last-minute choices.
- Cook more often. Simple meals are fine.
- Eat slowly and without screens when you can.
- Keep snacks you like in sight and treats out of sight.
- Allow flexibility. One meal does not ruin a week.
Tools in Jeevan
Jeevan includes simple calculators for calories, protein, water and BMI. They give an estimate you can adjust, and some can add a habit with your target. They are general tools and not medical advice.
Health note: if you have a medical condition, are pregnant, or have a history of disordered eating, talk to a doctor or registered dietitian first.
