Strategic metabolic seasons • Preparing the body • Why January cuts often make sense

Dieting in January can work extremely well. The problem is most women start a deficit after months of inconsistent routines, low energy, and a body that’s already under-supported then expect results to come easily.

This episode breaks down a more strategic approach: planning your year in metabolic seasons so fat loss happens when consistency is simplest, and you’re not trying to force progress at the worst possible time.

In this episode, Jess & Jill cover:

  • Why January is often a strong window for a cut (and when it isn’t)
  • The concept of metabolic seasons and how to map them onto your real life
  • The most common reasons New Year dieting falls apart
  • What “prep” looks like months ahead so a January cut feels smoother and more effective
  • The mindset behind New Year momentum and how to use structure without going extreme
  • A clear direction for anyone who didn’t build first and wants to approach this intelligently

If fat loss has felt harder every year, this conversation will explain why and what to change so the plan finally matches your life.

Reviews are everything! We'd love for you to drop us a 5-star rating and anything you want to share if you enjoyed this episode!
