Episode 6 -I’m Going on a Diet — Here’s How Body Transformation Phases Really Work

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, I’m sharing why yes — I’m going on a diet… but not the way you think. I’m breaking down what a “cut” really is, why it’s a temporary phase (not forever), and how I’m approaching mine for the next 10 weeks without making myself miserable. Plus, I’ll walk you through the other phases — reverse and build — and how to know when each one makes sense.•A cut is just a calorie deficit phase for fat loss — structured and temporary, not a forever diet.•After a cut, you reverse back to maintenance, where your body and brain feel their best.•A build phase means eating in a surplus to gain muscle — yes, it’s uncomfortable, but it works.•My current strategy: small food swaps, replacing bars with real food, upping steps, and using gum as a tool.•The big picture: fat loss phases work best when they’re intentional and followed by maintenance  — not when you live in a deficit forever.💬 Let’s connect!
