Session 3 Recap Tonight we focused on what it really takes to sustain a low-carb lifestyle long-term. Once the novelty wears off, consistency matters more than motivation. We talked about how to stay steady when progress slows, frustration creeps in, or the scale doesn’t move, even when you’re “doing everything right.” That’s where our Levers come in. Think of them as a toolbox you can adjust instead of quitting when things stall. The Levers we covered: Carb restriction Meal frequency Evaluating your food relationship Food quality Reducing added fats Exercise Mental health & stress management Prioritizing sleep Community & accountability Extended fasts Stalls don’t mean failure, they mean something needs adjusting. We also talked about managing cravings and social situations using a Good / Better / Best strategy. Planning ahead helps prevent small slips from turning into full derailments.
