The Performance-Based Fat Loss Podcast

EP03 | The Hidden Consequences of Chronic Dieting


Listen Later

In this episode, Jaclyn and Shane break down what chronic dieting is actually doing to your body and mind. Whether you're intentionally cutting calories or unknowingly under-eating, the consequences go far beyond just a stalled scale — think fatigue, muscle loss, hormonal disruption, and a metabolism that's working against you. If you've ever felt like you're doing everything right but getting nowhere, this episode is for you.

You'll learn:

  • Why your metabolism slows down the longer you diet — and how to fix it
  • The physical and psychological toll of chronic calorie restriction
  • How under-eating leads to muscle loss and why that matters for fat loss
  • Why hunger suppression is a red flag, not a win
  • How chronic dieting impacts hormones, immunity, sleep, and mood
  • Why a periodized approach to nutrition beats dieting 24/7
  • The real reason sustainable results require habit and behaviour change
