You’re eating clean. You’re working out. You’re tracking (most of the time). And still… the scale won’t budge. So naturally, you start wondering if your metabolism is broken or if your body is just “resistant” to weight loss.

In this episode, I break down the real reasons why your deficit might not be working, even though it looks good on paper. These are the blind spots that sabotage so many women on their fat loss journey, especially if they’ve been dieting for years and feel like they’re doing “everything right.”

You'll learn:

• Why being in a deficit for part of the week isn’t enough
• The sneaky calories that are flying under your radar
• How lack of sleep and high stress stall your progress
• Why your workouts aren’t burning as much as you think
• How protein and fiber help you stay in a deficit without being miserable

Plus, I’ll walk you through practical steps to troubleshoot your own plan so you can finally start seeing results.
