  • 144. Build or Cut? The Step-By-Step Game Plan | Body Recomposition Week 12
    Jan 21 2026

    If you’re eating “pretty well,” training consistently, and still wondering why your body isn’t changing, this video will hit uncomfortably close to home.

    This episode is for you if you’re struggling with stubborn fat that won’t shift, especially around your stomach, despite exercising regularly and trying to eat healthy. If you feel like you’re doing all the right things but your physique doesn’t reflect the effort you’re putting in, this episode will help you understand why.

    In this episode, I break down why training harder and eating less often backfires, the difference between fat loss and body recomposition, and why so many women stay stuck in an all-or-nothing cycle with food and exercise. We talk about under-fuelling, dieting fatigue, weekend overeating, and why consistency isn’t about being perfect, it’s about following the right strategy for your body.

    You’ll learn why calorie cutting, random workouts, and chasing fat loss without a clear structure can stall progress, and what actually needs to change if you want to look toned, feel confident in your clothes, and stop restarting every few weeks.
