I’m 14 months into maintenance after losing 70 lbs, and the odd part is how many people still offer advice. Cut carbs, fast longer, lift heavier, track every bite — I listen, nod, and then go back to my boring routine: protein at breakfast, 7k steps, two strength sessions a week.
I’m not chasing a new plan; I’m just trying to protect the one that got me here. For those further out, how do you handle unsolicited suggestions without either arguing or pretending you’re going to overhaul everything?
