The week 1 mindset

Week 1 should feel like a tolerance plan, not a diet plan. The win is keeping food and fluids manageable while learning what your body tolerates.

Build small plates

Use very small portions and pause before you feel full. Large portions are one of the easiest ways to turn manageable fullness into discomfort.

Keep meals simple

Low-fat Greek yogurt, eggs, cottage cheese, broth, rice, applesauce, banana, toast, crackers, and mild soups are easier to plan around than complicated meals.

Protein without pressure

If a full protein shake sounds impossible, use half servings or stir powder into a small food. The page should normalize imperfect intake while still guiding users toward consistency.

Hydration rhythm

Sip steadily. If nausea is active, smaller sips are more realistic than large glasses. If vomiting, dizziness, or inability to keep fluids down happens, users should contact a clinician.
