Nutrition (what to eat & what to avoid).
Prioritize protein: Paneer, dal, chickpeas, Greek yogurt, tofu, whey (if used). Protein reduces muscle loss and keeps fullness controlled.
Control calories with portion awareness: Use hand-portion method: palm protein, cupped hand carbs, fist vegetables.
Cut added sugars and sugary drinks: These spike insulin and promote fat accumulation.
Lower sodium & processed foods: Reduces facial puffiness (water retention).
Stay hydrated: Ironically, drinking water reduces water retention and bloating—aim for 2.5–3 L/day.
