To actually get results that last, you need to:✔️ Track consistently✔️ Know how to interpret weight + measurements✔️ Adjust based on YOUR biofeedback — not someone else’s numbers Because once you know your maintenance…👉 You can build a smart deficit (for fat loss)👉 Or a slight surplus (for muscle gain)👉 And most importantly — maintain your results without rebounding.
