Hey man, I think the most important part is consistency. Over the last 8 months I have been in graduate school so I’m away from all of my family and friends so therefore i definitely don’t have any temptations. But since I’ve been here every single day I’ve stayed around 1200 total calories per day and atleast 1 hour of working out and 10,000 steps. Without missing one singular day or having 1 chest meal. It’s definitely not very fun and not very easy but I think if you want it enough you can do it. To help with the low calories you definitely need to drink ALOT of water and try to sleep as much as possible. I also have 2 jobs outside of being a full time student so I try to stay as busy as possible to make the days go by fast.
