Adherence

Adherence to Healthy Ketogenic Diet Ready-To-Eat (HKD-RTE) meals is positively associated with greater weight loss, with each 1% increase in compliance linked to additional weight loss over 3 months.

Your weight loss is directly tied to how consistently you follow the meal plan. Even small improvements in your compliance (like eating your pre-made meals more often) can lead to extra weight loss. Don't aim for perfection; aim for consistency, as every bit of compliance counts.
