#135 Why Your Calorie Deficit Stopped Working

What this episode covers

In this episode, I’m breaking down the real signs that it’s time to take a diet break—and why pushing harder in a calorie deficit can sometimes backfire. We’ll cover how low energy, poor sleep, constant hunger, mood swings, and stalled progress are all signals your body needs more fuel, not less. You’ll also learn what a smart, strategic diet break actually looks like, and how it can help restore your metabolism, hormones, and training performance. If you’ve been feeling stuck, this conversation will show you why stepping back might be the exact move you need to move forward.
