In this episode, I will walk you through a 6-week mini cut.
No crash dieting, no misery, and no sacrificing the muscle I spent years building. If you've ever felt like fat loss requires suffering, this episode is going to change how you think about cutting entirely.
In this episode, we will cover:Why I spent 5 months at or above maintenance calories before cutting and why "earning the right to cut" is a concept more women need to hear
The calorie floor I set for myself and why I never went below 2,000 calories
My full 6-week plan: lifting, cardio, steps, protein, fiber, and the one untracked meal per week that kept her sane
Why most cutting advice backfires — and what it does to your metabolism and muscle mass
How I tracked progress beyond the scale: strength, energy, sleep, and weekly photos
What a conservative, sustainable cut looks like week to week
Smart fat loss is boring, protective, and it works. You don't have to wreck yourself to make progress — and honestly, you'llget further without it.
