The goal
Reach a healthier weight with habits I can keep by this time next year
Make it yours: change the highlighted parts, the numbers and the wording. In Ascanti the dates are set from the quarter you start in.
How you'll know you got there
Habits I can keep, steady progress toward a weight agreed with a professional, and no crash dieting.
Why this works
Crash diets tend to work briefly and then reverse. What lasts is a handful of habits you'd be happy to keep for life: regular, planned meals, daily movement and enough sleep. This plan starts with a check-in with a professional, builds those habits one at a time, tracks the habits more than the scale, and aims for slow, steady change.
A note of care: Talk to a doctor or registered dietitian before changing how you eat, especially if you have a health condition, are pregnant, or have a history of disordered eating. This is a habit plan, not a diet.
Milestones
One checkpoint for each of the first three quarters. The goal itself lands in the fourth.
- Quarter 1Baseline: a check-in with a doctor or dietitian and two habits started
- Quarter 2Routine: most meals planned ahead and movement on most days
- Quarter 3Holding: habits kept through a busy month and a review of what's working
Key results
Numbers you can check at any point to see whether you're on track.
- Weeks with movement on 5 or more days: 40 weeks
- Planned or home-cooked meals per week: 10 meals
- Progress toward the weight change agreed with a professional: 5 kg
