Week 1 Setup: Your Daily Routine Template
Morning routine template:
1) Wake up → take tablet exactly as instructed
2) Set a timer (don’t rush breakfast)
3) Break the fast with a light, protein-forward meal
4) Carry water and plan a protein snack
5) Take a 10–20 min walk if you can
The goal in week 1 is tolerability and routine, not perfection.

Week 1 Activity Plan (Simple, Sustainable)
Your body is adjusting. Keep it simple:
• Daily walking (start with what you can)
• 2 light strength sessions in the week (optional)
• Avoid extreme workouts if nausea/fatigue is high
Consistency matters more than intensity.
Daily Tracking (This Is What Improves Results)
Track daily:
• Appetite (0–10)
• Nausea (0–10)
• Bowel changes
• Hydration
• Protein intake
• Weight (optional; weekly is often better)
Tracking helps you identify what triggers nausea (often high-fat meals, large portions, alcohol, dehydration).
When to Seek Medical Advice (Week 1 Red Flags)
Get medical advice if you have:
• Severe persistent vomiting
• Signs of dehydration
• Severe abdominal pain
• New concerning symptoms
If symptoms are mild, small dietary changes often help.
