Maintenance isn't the Finish Line: It's the Launchpad

Megan Laudick Episode 22

You hit your goal. You're eating more. You're not gaining… but you’re not losing either. So what now?

In today’s episode, we’re diving into the most underrated phase of nutrition: maintenance. It's the quiet middle ground between cutting and building—where your body finally gets to breathe, recalibrate, and recover.

But here’s the thing: maintenance isn’t just where you pause—it’s where you prepare for your next big leap.

We cover:

  • What maintenance really means (hint: it’s more than just the scale)
  • How to tell if you’re there—biofeedback, gym performance, hunger cues, and more
  • Why this phase is crucial post-diet, especially before any muscle-building phase
  • How long to stay in maintenance and what mindset shifts are needed
  • What comes next: maintain, build, or cut again?

Whether you're fresh off a cut, wondering if you've hit the sweet spot, or trying to stop fearing food freedom—this episode is your permission slip to slow down without losing momentum.
