Calories In, Calories Out Is a Scam (And Why Your Body Stopped Responding)12 Days of Christmas Day 1

On the first day of Christmas (Fat loss Edition) my body taught me that it is not a calculator. In this episode of 12 Days of Christmas: Fat Loss Edition, we’re breaking down why calories in, calories out stopped working; and why eating less and moving more often makes fat loss harder after 40, not easier. If you’ve been eating clean, working out consistently, and still feeling frustrated, uncomfortable in your skin, and confused about why nothing is changing, this conversation will finally give you clarity. You’ll learn: • why your body adapts to restriction and stress • how fat loss becomes a signaling problem, not a math problem • what to focus on instead so your body actually responds again And if you’re ready to understand what your body is responding to, you can take my free 2-minute Metabolism Assessment; linked in the show notes. One day. One insight. No overwhelm. Come back tomorrow for Day 2 of 12 Days of Christmas: Fat Loss Edition.
