In this episode, I sit down with metabolic expert Angelo Poli to break down why so many athletes and cyclists get stuck trying to lose the last few kilos despite doing “everything right.” We dive into metabolic adaptation, why eating less eventually stops working, and how your body actively slows weight loss to keep you alive. Angelo explains why calories aren’t linear, why crash dieting backfires, and how eating more at the right time can actually help you get leaner and perform better. If you’ve been stuck in a weight-loss plateau, struggling with rebound weight gain, or afraid that fueling properly will make you heavier, this conversation will completely change how you think about metabolism.
