We'll dig into how these extreme diets impact your body, why the weight always seems to come back, and what to do instead (hint: it includes eating your favorite foods daily…completely guilt free).

Why MyFitnessPal Macros Are Inaccurate (And Can Lead to Weight Regain) May 21, 2025

Show notes

In this episode, I'm breaking down why MyFitnessPal's macro recommendations are setting you up for weight regain, not sustainable fat loss. You'll learn how this seemingly helpful app leads to metabolic adaptation (aka a slow metabolism), why its one-size-fits-all numbers don't work for your lifestyle, and how to approach macro tracking in a way that actually supports your metabolism, energy, and long-term weight loss.

If you've been stuck in the restrict-regain cycle (despite "doing everything right"), this one's for you.

173: Reverse Dieting vs. Calorie Surplus: What's the Difference (And Why One Doesn't Lead to Weight Gain) May 14, 2025

Show notes

In this episode, I'm diving into one of the biggest fat loss mistakes I see: jumping into a calorie deficit when your metabolism isn't ready. If you've been under-eating, stuck at 1,200–1,800 calories, or seeing weight regain even when you try to "eat better," your body might need a reverse diet — not another cut. I'll walk you through how metabolism health impacts long-term weight loss, why reverse dieting doesn't equal weight gain, and how to know if your body is actually ready to lose fat.
