What a calorie deficit does, and how large it can get before you start losing muscle alongside fat. Why the step count worth aiming at is lower than 10,000, and where that number came from in the first place. What intermittent fasting is actually doing, which is making it easier to eat less rather than anything clever with metabolism.
The timelines are the real ones: around four weeks before a tape measure notices, six to twelve before a mirror does. Nothing here involves a supplement, a cleanse, or a food you have to order online.
