An easy way to get an indea of whether or not your metabolism is under stress and if you should be in a deficit and trying to lose fat or not is to look at your:

1️⃣ Hunger
2️⃣ Cravings
3️⃣ Energy/Fatigue
4️⃣ Mood
5️⃣ Digestion

What you’re really looking for is STABILITY over notable fluctiaons in these 5 areas of biofeedback.

Hunger not too low or too high as both are red flags. 🚩🚩

Overall cravings normal.

Good energy / minimal fatigue struggles.

Stable mood.

Good digestion, minimal bloating, regular bowels, etc.

It’s super important to pay attention to what your body is communicating to you.

These are metabolic red flags and indicate that you’re in some trouble. This metabolism prefers fat gain to fat loss and needs to be rebuilt.

Think of it like a mechanic telling you that you need new brakes and instead you keep thinking, “nah, I’m good, maybe next service call.”

But then your brakes fail and your car winds up in an accident (metabolism/physical) and you get injured as well (emotional).

You can’t now tow your car to the mechanice and ask “if you fix my brakes now, will the car be ok?”

Unfortunately at that point you have to face that "repair" means your “car” is going to have to be in the shop for some time first.

You can’t always have your foot mashed on the gas pedal.

You need to learn when to ease up on the gas pedal and apply a little bit of the brakes.
