She explains why scale weight fluctuates, why she kept the same plan except for a brief refeed to improve sleep, and why most people regain weight by ending the diet too soon and overshooting maintenance. She breaks down metabolic and hormonal adaptations (NEAT, efficiency, leptin/ghrelin, thyroid) and outlines “post-diet recovery” as a controlled transition to maintenance (her plan: 1950 calories, reduced steps to 8–10k, prioritize sleep) while tracking seriously and judging success by body composition, performance, and recovery rather than the scale.

She explains why vacations don’t erase real fat-loss progress, detailing how water, sodium, carbs, alcohol, reduced training volume, and digestion can temporarily raise scale weight and change muscle fullness. She shares her untracked, intentional approach at an all-inclusive resort, a small weight increase, and how weight normalized slowly. Finally, she outlines plans for post-diet recovery and maintenance, adjusting steps and calories strategically while prioritizing sustainable lifestyle and body composition over scale numbers.Follow a long with me in my training!
