Frequently asked question
How long should you try a diet?
Short answer: Long enough to judge meaningful outcomes, but not so long that you ignore adverse symptoms or an obviously poor fit.
Detailed explanation
A trial period should be defined in advance and reviewed using more than scale weight. Consider hunger, energy, digestion, sleep, food preoccupation, cost, and daily burden.
