Key Wellness Strategies:

Productivity Tips for Eating:

Focus on Whole Foods:
- Emphasize a diet rich in:
  - Proteins
  - Vegetables
  - Fruits
  - Healthy fats
- Avoid processed foods, sodas, and fried foods to prevent feeding fat rather than the body.
Burn Stored Sugar:
- Engage in physical activity (e.g., brisk walking) to help burn glycogen stores and promote fat burning.
Mindful Eating:
- Avoid overeating by being aware of portion sizes and caloric intake.
- Consider tracking calories temporarily to understand personal energy needs.
Caloric Deficit:
- Aim for a Caloric Deficit of about 500 calories per day to promote weight loss.

These strategies aim to create a sustainable approach to weight management that prioritizes health and well-being.
