You’re Not Losing Fat Because You’re Under-Eating
Everyone thinks the key to fat loss is eating less.
So they slash calories, double cardio, and wonder why they feel like shit…
…and still don’t lose fat.
Here’s the truth: your metabolism isn’t broken — you just tanked it.
Your body adapted to the starvation. It’s burning less, conserving energy, and holding onto fat like it’s fighting for survival.
That’s where metabolic priming comes in — the process of eating more to reignite your metabolism before a fat loss phase.
Here’s the breakdown 👇
🔥 TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure)
This is your full calorie burn each day — made up of 4 parts:
- BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate): 60–70% — calories burned just staying alive.
- TEF (Thermic Effect of Food): 10–15% — calories burned digesting food (protein burns the most).
- EAT (Exercise Activity): 5–10% — what you burn during workouts.
- NEAT (Non-Exercise Activity): 15–20% — steps, fidgeting, walking, living life.
When you chronically diet, all 4 of these drop — especially NEAT and BMR.
That’s why your fat loss stalls even when you’re “doing everything right.”
The fix?
You reverse out — raise calories strategically, especially carbs and protein, while controlling body fat.
That brings hormones (leptin, thyroid, testosterone) back online, raises energy, increases NEAT, and lets you burn hotter at rest.
Then when you cut again?
🔥 You’re eating more.
🔥 Burning more.
🔥 Losing faster.
🔥 Feeling human again.
This is what I teach all my clients — we don’t starve the body, we prime it to perform.
