If you’ve ever felt like you’re putting in the work, doing everything “right,” but still not seeing the results you want in the mirror, this episode is for you. Inspired by a recent conversation with one of my clients, we’re diving into why maintenance might actually be more valuable than constantly chasing weight loss.

Many people believe that fat loss is all about eating less and moving more, but that mindset can leave you feeling frustrated, stuck, and spinning your wheels. In today’s episode, we break down why maintenance is crucial for long-term success, how to recomposition your body for better muscle definition and energy levels, and the biggest mistake that keeps people from achieving the look and feel they truly want.

If you’re tired of dieting and not seeing the progress you expected, this episode is going to change the way you approach your fat loss journey.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

Why always being in a calorie deficit might be holding you back
How maintenance can actually lead to better fat loss results
The concept of dieting periodization and why it matters
The role of muscle building in changing your body composition
Why your fat loss plateau might be a sign you need to focus on something else

Key Takeaways:

Fat loss isn’t always just about eating less – Constant dieting can lead to muscle loss, leaving you feeling smaller but not stronger.
Maintenance fuels real transformation – It gives your body what it needs to build muscle while reducing body fat percentage.
Recomposition > Rapid weight loss – Keeping muscle while burning fat creates a stronger, leaner, and more defined body.
Structured phases work best – Cycling through fat loss, maintenance, and muscle growth prevents plateaus and burnout.
If you're stuck, pivot – Focusing on maintenance might be the missing key to unlocking real, lasting results.

At the end of the day, losing weight isn’t the goal—feeling confident, strong, and energized is. If you’ve been stuck in a cycle of dieting and not seeing the changes you want, it might be time to focus on maintenance, muscle-building, and sustainable progress instead.
