Why I Think Occasional Calorie Deficits Help — Even If You Like Your Body Comp | Ep 609

Jeff Hoehn

Welcome to the Mind Muscle Connection Podcast!

In today’s solo episode, I dig into a big topic on Why I think Getting Into a Calorie Deficit Every So Often Is a Good Idea - Even If Your Happy With Your Body Recomp

I discuss when it makes sense to dip into a deficit, the health and metabolic benefits, how often to do it, and why stress load, recovery, and context all matter. If you’re someone who’s been eating at maintenance, building, or just unsure if you “should” cut again—this episode is for you!

Let’s talk about:

  • Introduction
  • Why a deficit still matters if you’re happy with your body
  • When and how often to do a deficit
  • Smart fat loss phase
  • Benefit of restricted eating
