Most women over 40 have been taught that if fat loss stalls, the answer is to eat less and exercise more.

That's exactly what my client believed too.

Instead of cutting her calories again, we gradually increased them from 1,500 to over 2,200 while reducing the amount she was training. The result? She started getting stronger, losing inches, improving her body composition, and finally seeing progress again.

In this episode, I'm walking you through exactly why we made that decision, what metabolic adaptation really is, how reverse dieting works, and why eating less isn't always the answer.

If you've been stuck doing all the "right" things with little to show for it, this episode will help you understand what your body may actually need to move forward.
