Most weight loss diets and exercise plans work in the short term, but many struggle with weight regain because they don’t focus on building sustainable habits. ⚖️

Without creating new routines, it’s easy to fall back into old patterns.

The key to long-term weight loss? Habit formation.

Once you understand how habits work, you can start hacking them for lasting change.

The habit loop theory breaks down habits into 3 steps:

1️⃣ Cue�
2️⃣ Behavior�
3️⃣ Reward

By recognizing these steps, you can replace unhealthy habits with healthier ones.

When deciding what habits to form and what habits to break, a CGM can be a valuable tool to see how your habits are affecting your health and how your body responds to them. https://bit.ly/3tXuWZZ
