203. The Mental Game Behind Body Recomp (That Nobody Talks About)

If you caught last week’s episode about structuring your year nutritionally for body recomp, this one’s your MINDSET wake-up call!

This journey isn’t *just* about eating less, doing more cardio, and shrinking yourself into oblivion. That cycle of always dieting, cutting out foods, and feeling like you can’t do anything fun? It SUCKS, and is basically a one-way ticket to burnout!

Here’s the truth: each nutritional phase (build, maintenance, deficit) comes with its own mental shifts and expectations. Your workouts, strategy, and habits should change along with them!

If you don’t understand the WHY behind your phase, nothing you do is going to stick. 

Ultimately, your body thrives on consistency and homeostasis - not constant chaos. I don’t want you constantly chasing the next quick fix or “shiny diet”. 

No more falling into the “f*ck it” mentality when things get tough, friend. I want you to be crystal clear on YOUR goals and have a solid plan to follow, so you’re able to set yourself up for lasting results!

Episode Recap:

• Why you can’t live in “diet” or “f*ck it” mode forever + what to do instead
• Realizing that each phase comes with different mental AND physical wins
• What to focus on, expect, and how to thrive in a build phase
• Why the maintenance phase is more powerful than you think
• How to get results without burning yourself out in a deficit/cut
• Why your nutrition AND mindset have to align if you want lasting success
• The upcoming Fit Club “reset” you don’t want to miss
• Why timing your health & fitness goals to your season of life changes everything
