Description

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠You’ve been eating less.

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Working out more.

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Cutting carbs, skipping snacks, pushing harder.

⁠⁠⁠

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠And your body?

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Still tired. Still inflamed. Still storing everything you eat.

⁠⁠⁠

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sound familiar?

⁠⁠⁠⁠

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠💥 The truth is, if your body doesn’t feel safe…

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠It won’t burn fat.

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠It will store it.

⁠⁠

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠That’s where reverse dieting comes in—but most women are doing it wrong.

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠In this episode, I break down:

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠🔄 What reverse dieting actually is (hint: it’s not just eating more)

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⚠️ The most common mistakes I see women make that keep them stuck in fat storage mode

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠🥩 How to structure your food and macros to teach your body to use fuel instead of fear it

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⏳ The timeline you need to reset your metabolism and earn a fat loss phase that works

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠🧠 The mindset shifts required to reverse diet without freaking out over the scale

⁠⁠

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠If your body’s been fighting you at every turn…

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠If you're gaining on low calories…

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠If you’re terrified to eat more but desperate to feel like you again

⁠⁠⁠⁠

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠🎧 This is your roadmap to metabolic freedom.

⁠⁠⁠⁠

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠🔥 Tune in and get the do’s, the don’ts, and the exact steps I use with my 1:1 clients to unlock fat loss by fixing the foundation first.
