The Calorie Deficit Lie: What Diet Gurus Aren’t Telling You

The calorie deficit lie is ruining your progress — here’s what actually works.

If you’re eating low-cal, staying strict, and still not seeing the scale move… you’ve probably fallen for the calorie deficit lie. And friend, you’re not alone.

In this week’s episode, I’m calling out the half-truths that keep people stuck, starving, and frustrated. I walk you through a real-life example from a new group member who’s been eating just 552 calories a day—and gaining nothing but stress. She’s not “overeating.” She’s chronically undernourished. And it’s time to fix it.

The calorie deficit lie is built on the idea that if you’re not losing weight, you must be eating too much. But after years of dieting, your body adapts. It slows metabolism, messes with your hormones, and halts fat loss—even if you’re eating less than your dog (yep, really!).

In this episode, I explain how long-term undereating leads to fatigue, hair loss, sleep issues, stubborn weight, and more. And most importantly? I teach you what to do about it.

If you’ve been told to just “eat less” again and again… stop and watch this video.
