#393; Dan Feldman - what no one told you about carbs, lifting, and getting the body composition you desire

Why You’re Not Seeing the Results You Deserve—Even When You’re Doing Everything “Right”

You’re lifting weights.

You’re watching your calories.

You’re trying to eat more protein.

And yet… your body still doesn’t look the way you thought it would.

So you start to wonder—

“Is it my hormones?”

“Is it because I’m getting older?”

“Maybe I’m not trying hard enough...?”

In this episode, I sit down with @powerlifterdietitian to break down the real reasons so many women feel stuck—despite doing everything “right.” We get brutally honest about what it actually takes to build the strong, lean look most women want… and spoiler alert: it’s not just about fat loss.

We go deep into: • Why eating less and training harder often backfires

• How women mistake “training hard” for effective muscle-building

• The real role of carbs in strength, performance, and body composition

• Why “glamourizing the deficit” keeps women in a cycle of frustration

• What true physique change requires—and why so few people stick with it long enough

• The myth of scale weight progress (and what to track instead)

• How social media, bad science, and even PhDs get it wrong

If you’re tired of chasing tone with clean eating and cardio...

If you're frustrated that your clothes don’t fit the way you want, even though you’re not gaining weight...

If you feel like your body isn’t responding the way it used to and you’re scared to eat more or train differently…

This episode is your wake-up call.

It’s time to challenge everything you’ve been taught about fat loss, food, and fitness—because your body isn't broken.

You’ve just been sold the wrong blueprint.
