Hold Up, Where’s the Transformation???
Hold up! Where’s the transformation??
We dropped calories to 1000 (for a hot minute) Tried 1600. Nothing changed.
Here’s what most people miss: when your body isn’t responding, it doesn’t care how ‘perfect’ your macros are.
We dug deeper—labs finally gave us the truth.
Testosterone was basically nonexistent. Not just low… undetectable (under 3, when the range is 20–30).
This was a result of years of low calorie and high activity. Which both are stressors on the body.
And here’s the wild part—she didn’t feel stressed.
She loved training.
She wasn’t restricting. She wasn’t even hungry.
That’s what chronic stress does: it disconnects you from your body. Hunger shuts down.
Hormones tank.
Fat loss stalls because your body is protecting you.
We flipped the script:
More food. She’s coming out of low calorie. We’ve built food intake up.
Training with intention, not to failure.
A couple strategic supplements.
And most important: prioritizing recovery like it’s the main event.
She’s prayed through it.
She’s trusting the process.
Trusting her body would respond when we finally gave it what it needed, not what we thought it should handle.
Today, she’s down 15lbs—lower than post-pregnancy (we’ll show those progress pictures in due time.)
This is without punishment or extremes.
Still moving.
Still training.
But this time, from a place of education, respect and restoration.
Sometimes healing doesn’t look like push harder.
It looks like obedience, wisdom, and giving your body the safety it needs to change.
Proud of this girl! We’re unraveling a decade of diet mentality.
She was wise enough to ask for help which changed her life.
Had she kept going on the same path nothing would have changed (only gotten worse) and all her hard work in the gym would’ve never shown.
Talk about living frustrated and stressed out.
Stay tuned on this girl - we’re not done yet!
