“I already did a cut so I know what works for me” is one of the most expensive beliefs in the fitness space…
because when you go back in with the same macros and the same plan…
your body isn’t the same body 😭 (this was me back in 2024)
after a fat loss phase:
→ your metabolism has adapted downward
→ leptin dropped, ghrelin went up, your hunger signals are louder
→ your body has a fresh memory of restriction and it will fight you faster this time
plugging in the old numbers into my fitness pal doesn’t account for any of that.
the women inside who get to their second cut and think “wait… this is actually working and I look DIFFERENT”
it’s because of what happened in between.
we spent months in Phase 2.
building muscle. bringing the metabolism back up. supporting hormones. letting the body feel safe again.
so when we go back into a deficit, we’re cutting into a completely different body composition.
more muscle underneath.
a higher metabolic output to work with.
a body that isn’t already bracing for impact.
the result isn’t just “I lost more weight.”
it’s a tighter waist.
a b***y that’s actually there now.
definition that wasn’t possible the first time around because the muscle wasn’t built yet.
your second fat loss phase can be the most exciting one you’ve ever done.
but only if you did the work between them.
that’s the arc. that’s the whole thing.
and it’s exactly what we build inside
not just one cut and done, but the full roadmap in the order that actually works. 🤍
DM me PHASE if you want to know where you are in this process and what’s actually next for you.
