Chronic restriction teaches your body to survive, not change. Over time, low calories blunt fat loss, kill training performance, flatten your physique, and lock you into maintenance disguised as progress.

Inside this episode, you'll learn:

• Why staying lean doesn't mean your metabolism is healthy

• How prolonged low calories reduce fat loss efficiency

• The signs your body has adapted—even if the scale hasn't moved

• Why cutting harder is usually the exact wrong move

• How strategic increases in food can restore progress without fat gain

If you're a driven man who's afraid to eat more because you "can't afford to gain weight," this episode will reframe how fat loss actually works—and show you why the fastest way forward often starts by pulling back.

This is the difference between surviving on low calories… and building a physique that actually responds again.
