@swolekol: You’re gonna tell me that if you eat any more, you’ll gain weight, right? But you’re also swearing up that no matter what you do, you just can’t seem to lose fat either. Here’s the truth: When your body is stuck in a low calorie grind, especially while training hard and juggling life stress, it responds by turning everything down. 👉 Metabolism slows 👉 Cortisol stays high 👉 Water retention goes up 👉 Fat loss stalls 👉 And motivation tanks This isn’t starvation mode. (That’s BS) A better name would be survival mode. So what actually works? ✅ Increasing food just enough to lower cortisol and restore energy ✅ Keeping protein high to preserve lean mass ✅ Lifting weights consistently (not killing yourself with cardio) ✅ Walking daily to burn more without spiking stress ✅ Prioritizing recovery: sleep, hydration, and less decision fatigue This is how you get your body back to a place where the number on the scale will finally be able to move down again. Here’s the good news: You don’t need to be perfect. You just need the right structure, habits, and consistency. Eat smarter. Stress less. Move with purpose. Want to get out of the cycle and finally start seeing the results your effort deserves? DM me “REBUILD” and I’ll show you how to fix this from the inside out step by step. Let’s go.
