35 lbs is substantial; without exercise, expect 7-9 months of consistent execution.

1. Calorie deficit of 500 kcal/day
2. Protein 1.2-1.6 g/kg
3. Two cups vegetables at lunch and dinner
4. Kitchen closed by 8 PM
5. 2.5 L water daily
6. Sleep 7-8 hours
7. Modest processed-food reduction
8. Monthly measurement (not daily weighing)

Rate: ~1 lb/week without exercise. 35 weeks = 8 months. Adding 30 min daily walking halves the timeline.
