Ep 112. I Ate More So My Diet Would Actually Work

from Macros For Life · host Randall and Eve Guzman

 I Ate More So My Cut Would Actually Work Mentally in a cut, physically in a cut, but the reason it's working started a year ago, with the scariest decision I've made in this whole journey: I stopped dieting and ate at maintenance instead. In this episode, I break down why a full year of eating enough (sometimes even a slight surplus) and lifting as heavy as I could is the actual reason my current cut is working, why "readiness" is something you have to build before you can diet successfully, and why the problem for chronic dieters usually isn't eating too much, it's eating too little for too long. Topics: Repeated dieting can leave the body in a state that isn't ready for another deficit A structured maintenance phase, eating enough, training hard, can be the missing step before a cut works Progress in a maintenance phase should be measured in strength, sleep, and food relationship, not the scale The cut works when the body is ready for it; readiness has to be built, not rushed Resources Mentioned: MacroU: Macro Mentorship Program → [link]   Nutrition Coaching  3 Day Macro Tracking Course    📲 Follow me on Instagram → @eveguzmanofficial
