think your scan results are telling the truth? they’re not.

in this episode of 100% real with ruby, we expose the inaccuracies in body fat testing—from DEXA to InBody to those dodgy bathroom scales. these tools promise precision but deliver confusion, making you question progress that’s actually real.

you’ll learn:

• why your "lean mass" isn't just muscle

• how carbs, hydration, and timing screw with results

• why gym challenges use misleading data to sell success

• what actually matters if you want to change your physique and feel better in your body

you’ll walk away knowing exactly why these metrics lie—and how to measure progress in a way that empowers, not derails you.

stop letting skewed data run the show. your body is smarter than the tech trying to track it.

Eating less but not seeing results? Learn why your body isn’t responding and what it actually takes to get leaner, stronger, and finally feel in control again.

If you’ve ever thought, “I’m barely eating... so why isn’t anything changing?”—this episode is for you.

Because the truth is, eating less doesn’t always lead to weight loss. In fact, for many women in their 30s, 40s, and 50s, it’s the very thing keeping you stuck.

Today, we’re diving into what you were never taught about metabolism, suppressed maintenance, and why 1500 calories isn’t your magic number—it’s your red flag. I break down the real reason your body isn’t responding, even though your calories are already low and you’re training 4–5x per week.

We’ll talk about:

• The difference between unintentional vs. strategic maintenance
• Why you feel like you’re in a deficit… but your body doesn’t agree
• How weekend habits, stress, under-fueling, and training mismatches keep you plateaued
• What your body actually needs to build shape, definition, and finally respond again
• Why reverse dieting isn’t the “fix”—and what works better
• The mindset shift that helps you stop fearing food and start seeing results

If you’re training hard, eating clean, and wondering why the hell nothing’s changing—this is the missing link. You’re not broken. You’re just not being told the full story.

🎯 Listen now if you want to finally get out of the calorie trap and build a body that actually feels good to live in.

👉 DM me "MAINTENANCE" on Instagram @transformxruby if you're ready to fix what’s keeping you stuck.

ready to learn the truth about suppressed maintenance, metabolic adaptation, and why your fat loss plateau is NOT about your body being f*kd. its not/ If you’ve been tracking, training, and under-eating without results, this is the episode you need. lemme show you the smarter, more strategic way to build muscle, support your metabolism, and finally see change—without slashing more calories.

she did it all “right.”

ran herself into the ground.

trained 7 days a week.

powerlifted. ate low carb. cut calories.

but nothing really changed.

her strength stalled. her back hurt.

and she was exhausted by 3pm most days.

she blamed age.
until she stopped.

and started eating carbs.

and she’ll tell you straight:

→ overtraining didn’t build muscle

→ low carb didn’t make her lean

→ all-or-nothing made her miserable

for years, she did everything “right”

until nothing worked.

until her body said: “i’m done.”

until she finally tried the thing that scared her most—eating more.

and that’s when it clicked.

we didn’t just give her more food.

we gave her structure. purpose.

a plan she could actually recover from.

and a body that could finally respond.

now she trains less and lifts more.

she eats carbs. she has energy.

she’s stronger, leaner, and more empowered than ever.

and most importantly?

she’s free.
