from Teachers OFF DUTY!

The Real Reason the Calorie Deficit Isn't WorkingYou're doing the maths. You're eating less, moving more, tracking everything and the scale still isn't moving. So what's actually going on?In this episode, I break down the real reason your calorie deficit isn't working and it has nothing to do with willpower, miscounting, or not trying hard enough.I cover why a deficit on paper doesn't always translate in the body, the role stress hormones play in fat storage, how chronic under-fuelling can cause your metabolism to work against you, and why the context around your calories matters far more than the number itself.This is the episode for the woman who is doing everything right and still not seeing results and who deserves a real explanation, not another instruction to eat less.In this episode:Why the maths of fat loss doesn't always match the realityHow cortisol and stress hormones affect your body compositionThe under-fuelling trap and why eating too little makes fat loss harderWhat data to track beyond the scalesWhy context changes everything Hosted on Acast.
