Build a flexible plan
Choose a default, a backup and a restart point. For how to stock a healthy office drawer, the default is what you do most days, the backup is what you do when time or energy is low, and the restart point is the next ordinary choice after disruption.
What to review after one week
Ask whether the approach supported energy, hunger, sleep, mood and daily function. If it created persistent weakness, dizziness, pain, anxiety around food or a sense that you must hide the routine, stop and seek professional advice.
What not to do
