1️⃣ Long-term lifestyle change means slow, steady & sustainable results. It means progressive knowledge acquisition, strength gains & new habit development. It means a journey of self-growth & a new way of life. It means months & years.

2️⃣ A short-term fix means fast results that typically don't last. It is a means to an end - e.g. an upcoming holiday, wedding or other social event. It's often sold as a "challenge" - usually lasting weeks or months but without a contingency plan. Once the challenge is over, old habits resume.
