70 | 3 Reasons You’re Not Losing Weight Postpartum (Even If You’re Doing Everything Right)


Listen Later

Are you eating clean, squeezing in workouts, and still not losing weight postpartum? You’re not alone—and you’re not failing. Postpartum weight loss is different because your hormones, metabolism, stress, and recovery all play a role.

In this episode, I break down:

  • Why underfueling actually slows fat loss (and burns muscle instead)
  • Why cardio alone won’t get you the results you want postpartum
  • The surprising role sleep and stress (hello, cortisol!) play in fat loss
  • What to focus on instead—nutrition, strength training, recovery, and time
  • You’ll walk away knowing it’s not about doing more—it’s about doing what truly supports your postpartum body.

    👉 Don’t miss episode 67 on tracking progress beyond the scale—a perfect companion to today’s conversation.
