Not Broken: The Fat Loss and Energy Reset

It took me 20 years to figure out how to eat with Type 1.Cereal for breakfast as a kid sent my blood sugar through the roof. Lunch from my mum — fat and carbs, barely any protein — knocked me out every afternoon. I thought falling asleep after lunch was just normal.Then for years I went the other way — eating too little, in the name of "clean" and "healthy" — and wrecked my sleep, my skin, my recovery, while telling myself I was fine because my blood sugar looked okay.It took a strength mentor in 2019 to teach me what eating actually meant.In this episode I walk you through the three lessons, in the order I learned them — and the blood-sugar-friendly way of eating I use now, adjusted for a Type 1 body.🎧 DM RESET on Instagram (@philippweberc) if you want to map out exactly what's blocking your results.

Michaela came to me at 30 with a very specific problem: she couldn't function after 5pm. Come home, lie on the sofa, scroll, fall asleep before she meant to, wake up annoyed.She wasn't lazy. She had a brand-new high-pressure job, PCOS, hypothyroidism, and insulin resistance - three separate reasons her body was holding onto weight and draining her energy. In this episode I walk through exactly what we changed, why her energy came back before the weight did, and the moment her own body taught her the lesson I never could.

Most fat-loss advice for women with Type 1 Diabetes is built around one idea: Eat less. Cut carbs. Cut calories. Cut meals. Skip breakfast.For a T1 body, that approach actively makes you worse. Lower input raises cortisol, raises insulin resistance, raises your insulin demand, and the system you're trying to fix gets more broken every time you eat less.In this episode I walk through the 5 levers that actually move the needle. None of them ask you to eat less. All of them build capacity instead.Inside: → Why muscle is the most underrated lever for T1 women → The breakfast structure that decides your whole day → Why hours of cardio is making your insulin demand climb → The chronic undereating problem nobody names → The single biggest sleep mistake T1 women makeIf you've been doing it the "right" way for years and your body still refuses to play along — this is the episode.🩸

Amalina came to me at 172 kilos with Type 2 diabetes, sciatica, sleep that started at 4am, a body that couldn't make 5,000 steps without ankle pain, and a hospital dietitian's depressing meal list she'd already thrown out.Six months later, she now sleeps by 11pm for the first time in her adult life. She walks faster than her colleagues. She takes the stairs because she wants to. Her blood sugar dropped from 10-11 to 8.7 - the lowest it's been in years.This is what happens when a coach stops chasing the scale and starts fixing the system underneath it.In this episode I break down 5 lessons from her case.

I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at 13.
