The Smart Woman's Guide to Cutting: How to Lock It In

from Magic Mindset with Heather Maio · host Heather Maio

In this episode, I will walk you through a 6-week mini cut.No crash dieting, no misery, and no sacrificing the muscle I spent years building. If you've ever felt like fat loss requires suffering, this episode is going to change how you think about cutting entirely.In this episode, we will cover:Why I spent 5 months at or above maintenance calories before cutting and why "earning the right to cut" is a concept more women need to hear The calorie floor I set for myself and why I never went below 2,000 calories    My full 6-week plan: lifting, cardio, steps, protein, fiber, and the one untracked meal per week that kept her saneWhy most cutting advice backfires — and what it does to your metabolism and muscle mass  How I tracked progress beyond the scale: strength, energy, sleep, and weekly photosWhat a conservative, sustainable cut looks like week to week Smart fat loss is boring, protective, and it works. You don't have to wreck yourself to make progress — and honestly, you'llget further without it.Resources Mentioned:Not Another Diet Book: https://www.amazon.com/Not-Another-Diet-Book-learning/dp/B0B45Q4CLH/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1656499379&sr=8-1Schedule a Session: https://www.heathermaio.com/coaching-options
