266:Why Dieting Year-Round Is Keeping You Stuck (And What to Do Instead)
OVERVIEW:
So many women come into the new year feeling frustrated, confused, and ready to “try harder” — even though they’ve already been dieting, training, and pushing for years.
In this episode, I’m breaking down one of the biggest mistakes I see women make in their 30s and 40s: staying in a calorie deficit year-round and assuming the answer is always more restriction, more cardio, or more discipline.
Here’s the truth — that approach doesn’t create results. It creates dysfunction.
I’m walking you through why chronic dieting keeps your body stuck, how your metabolism adapts to long-term under-fueling, and why fat loss becomes harder when your body doesn’t feel supported.
Most importantly, I’m explaining the Three Phases of Transformation we use at Metabolic Fix — and why understanding which phase your body actually needs is the key to sustainable progress.
In this episode, we cover:
- Why living in a calorie deficit long-term backfires
- How under-fueling impacts hormones, recovery, and metabolism
- Why many women need to start in the Repair Phase, not fat loss
- What the Rebuild Phase actually looks like and why it’s essential
- Why the Results Phase only works when the foundation is in place
- How to stop guessing and start working with your body instead of against it
- If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything right but still not seeing results, this episode will help you understand why — and what to do differently moving forward.
This isn’t about being more disciplined.
It’s about being in the right phase.
