Most women don’t struggle to lose weight. They struggle to keep it off. In this episode of The Mindset Diet, I break down the Balance phase of my 3-phase method (Build → Burn → Balance) so you can maintain your results within 3–5 lbs without living on a diet. You’ll learn how to transition off tracking, navigate events and vacations, and build the identity and habits that make maintenance feel normal.

Most women think fat loss means cutting out carbs, skipping meals, or eating 1,200 calories a day. Those approaches don’t work long-term — they leave you hungry, frustrated, and stuck in the same cycle of losing and regaining weight.

In this episode of The Mindset Diet, I’m breaking down how to set up a Burn Phase the right way — a structured fat loss phase that actually gets results without feeling miserable or restricted. You’ll learn step by step how to eat in a way that supports your metabolism, preserves muscle, and still leaves room for flexibility (yes, even for French fries or a night out).

Here’s what you’ll discover inside:

• Why simply “eating less” or “cutting portions” backfires every time.
• The 4 key steps to setting up a calorie deficit that works (without wrecking your energy or hormones).
• How to figure out your protein target and build the rest of your macros around it.
• Real client stories of women who finally started losing weight when they stopped chasing extremes.
• What success really looks like in a Burn Phase (hint: it’s more than the number on the scale).
• The common pitfalls that stall fat loss — and how to avoid them.
• Why Burn is temporary, and how to know when it’s time to exit.

If you’ve been dieting for years but never felt like your results stick, this episode will show you why and give you a clear roadmap for what to do differently.
