  1. Bagel Optimization: Portion and freeze whole bagels, taking 1/4 each time paired with protein (e.g., egg/cheese)
  2. Meat Prep: Marinate all on the weekend (chicken with lemon juice + rosemary, beef with ginger slices + star anise), portion and refrigerate
  3. Anti-Hunger Tips: Drink 300ml of warm water before meals; eating order: Vegetables → Protein → Carbs
  4. Metabolic Boost: Drink 2L of water daily (can add lemon slices), 3 times a week, 20 minutes of strength training (push-ups/squats)
