Soft Landing
A gradual transition into maintenance that emphasizes integration and stability rather than urgency or drastic changes in habits.
A soft landing helps you move out of weight loss without sudden changes. Intake is increased gradually while keeping structure in place. This reduces the risk of overeating and large weight swings. It makes the transition more stable and easier to sustain.
