#405; when eating less stops working (what you were never taught about metabolism + maintenance)

Eating less but not seeing results? Learn why your body isn’t responding and what it actually takes to get leaner, stronger, and finally feel in control again.

If you’ve ever thought, “I’m barely eating... so why isn’t anything changing?”—this episode is for you.

Because the truth is, eating less doesn’t always lead to weight loss. In fact, for many women in their 30s, 40s, and 50s, it’s the very thing keeping you stuck.

Today, we’re diving into what you were never taught about metabolism, suppressed maintenance, and why 1500 calories isn’t your magic number—it’s your red flag. I break down the real reason your body isn’t responding, even though your calories are already low and you’re training 4–5x per week.

We’ll talk about:

• The difference between unintentional vs. strategic maintenance
• Why you feel like you’re in a deficit… but your body doesn’t agree
• How weekend habits, stress, under-fueling, and training mismatches keep you plateaued
• What your body actually needs to build shape, definition, and finally respond again
• Why reverse dieting isn’t the “fix”—and what works better
• The mindset shift that helps you stop fearing food and start seeing results

If you’re training hard, eating clean, and wondering why the hell nothing’s changing—this is the missing link. You’re not broken. You’re just not being told the full story.

🎯 Listen now if you want to finally get out of the calorie trap and build a body that actually feels good to live in.
