@macro_habits From living in a deficit to a 2,000 calorie maintenance 🙌🏼 custom reverse dieting plans: www.macrohabits.com HOW STAYING IN A DEFICIT IS STALLING YOUR PROGRESS. If you’re always cutting, you’re never truly building. DM me or drop a comment below w/ any questions 🤎 When you’re in a calorie deficit for an extended period, your body starts to adjust to the lower energy intake, this is known as metabolic adaptation. (a “slowed metabolism.”) Your metabolism’s main goal is to keep you alive, not to keep you lean. When calories are consistently low, your body reduces the amount of energy it burns — both at rest (your BMR) and during activity. Think of it like this: your body starts “budgeting” energy more strictly because it thinks food is scarce. Hormonal Signals Change Leptin (the hormone that tells your brain you’re full) drops. Ghrelin (the hunger hormone) increases. Thyroid hormones (which regulate metabolism) slow down. Your body starts working against your fat loss efforts…. conserving energy, increasing cravings, and lowering motivation.
