In this episode, Nikki clears up one of the biggest myths in fat loss and breaks down what’s really happening when your body stops responding to your diet. You’ll learn how to tell if your metabolism has slowed down, why some women can eat more and still lose weight, and how to avoid the dangerous trap of over-restricting calories.
Whether you’ve hit a plateau or you’ve been told to “just eat less,” this episode gives you the real truth—so you can stop guessing, start healing, and actually keep the weight off.
