If you’ve been cutting calories, doing tons of cardio, and still not seeing results—you’re not broken. You’re just missing the real fat loss formula.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the science (and the strategy) behind macros, metabolism, and muscle—and why these three things are non-negotiable if you want sustainable fat loss that actually lasts.

Inside this episode:

1. What macros really are and how they impact your results
2. Why your metabolism isn’t “slow”—but adapted
3. How chronic under-eating and overtraining backfire
4. The role of muscle in boosting fat loss (and shaping your body)
5. How to fuel your body without cutting out the foods you love

Whether you’re feeling stuck in your progress or you’re just tired of restrictive diets, this episode will give you the clarity and confidence to move forward with a plan that actually works—for your body, your lifestyle, and your long-term goals.

3. Red flags you’re undereating (even if you’re eating “clean”)
4. The power of reverse dieting and eating to fuel fat loss
5. How to rebuild your metabolism and body trust—for good

If you’re ready to ditch the restriction and finally start seeing results in a way that actually feels good? This episode will change the game for you.
