In this myth-busting episode, Harry explains why eating less isn’t always the answer to fat loss and how increasing your calories strategically can actually help you get leaner, faster.

If you're stuck in a plateau, this episode could be the wake-up call you need.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

• 🍽️ Eating Less ≠ Always Better
  Most people think less food = more fat loss, but that often leads to muscle loss or stalled progress.
• 📉 Fat Loss Plateaus Are Real
  If the scale isn’t moving despite strict dieting and training, your metabolism may have adapted.
• 📈 The Real Fix: Eat More (Smartly)
  Reverse dieting back to maintenance calories restores energy, hormone levels, and fat-burning capacity.
• 🔁 Adaptation Works Both Ways
  Just as your body adapts to fewer calories by slowing down, it adapts to more food by speeding up.
• ⚙️ Create a Bigger Deficit with Higher Intake
  Once your new maintenance is higher, you can drop into a deficit that’s both bigger and more sustainable.
• 🧠 Recover Mentally Too
  Don’t just wait until you physically feel ready to re-enter a deficit when you mentally feel motivated again.
