Macros & Motivation Beautiful Peach Podcast

In this episode, I'm breaking down why MyFitnessPal's macro recommendations are setting you up for weight regain, not sustainable fat loss. You'll learn how this seemingly helpful app leads to metabolic adaptation (aka a slow metabolism), why its one-size-fits-all numbers don't work for your lifestyle, and how to approach macro tracking in a way that actually supports your metabolism, energy, and long-term weight loss. If you've been stuck in the restrict-regain cycle (despite “doing everything right”), this one's for you.

In this episode, I'm diving into one of the biggest fat loss mistakes I see: jumping into a calorie deficit when your metabolism isn't ready. If you've been under-eating, stuck at 1,200–1,800 calories, or seeing weight regain even when you try to “eat better,” your body might need a reverse diet — not another cut. I'll walk you through how metabolism health impacts long-term weight loss, why reverse dieting doesn't equal weight gain, and how to know if your body is actually ready to lose fat.

Think reverse dieting is just about eating more food? Not so fast, my gal! In this episode, I'm walking you through why increasing calories too quickly can cause weight regain (without actually helping your metabolism), and how to reverse diet the right way. If you're stuck in a fat loss plateau, eating low calories with no results, or unsure where to begin, this is your roadmap to sustainable weight loss, improved metabolism health, and confident macro tracking.

Feeling stuck after baby with no fat loss in sight—even while eating clean and working out?

If fat loss feels harder than ever during perimenopause, menopause, or post-menopause—you're not crazy, gal. Hormonal changes can tank your metabolism, leading to weight gain, fatigue, and frustrating plateaus. In this episode, I break down exactly how reverse dieting can restore metabolism health, support sustainable weight loss, and help you feel energized and in control again—even after “every diet under the sun” has failed you.

Are you stuck in a fat loss plateau and wondering how long it'll take to actually lose fat after a reverse diet? In this episode, I'm diving deep into why you can't rush fat loss when your metabolism needs healing, what happens when you under-eat for too long, and how to know when your body is finally ready to burn fat again. If you've been tracking macros, trying “every diet under the sun,” and still not seeing results—this one's for you.
