If you haven’t listened to Part 1 yet—pause now and go catch up! In that episode, we broke down what metabolism actually is, how it adapts during a calorie deficit, and why your hunger skyrockets just when you’re “doing everything right.”

But today? We’re getting into the good stuff—the solutions.

In this episode, I’m sharing 6 realistic, science-backed strategies to help you reduce or delay metabolic slowdowns so you can keep seeing progress without burning out, cutting carbs, or surviving off sadness and rice cakes.

Whether you're trying to lose fat, maintain energy, or just want to feel like a functioning human while chasing toddlers and trying to meal prep something that isn’t a chicken nugget—you’re going to walk away with real tools you can use.

Inside this episode:

  • Why “slow and steady” is your metabolic BFF

  • How strategic diet breaks can keep your body (and brain) from revolting

  • Why protein is a game-changer during fat loss—and how much you really need

  • The importance of strength training

  • How sleep, stress, and self-care play a massive role in your results

The goal here isn’t perfection—it’s sustainability. What works for moms in the real world. Not “optimal” on paper. But actually doable.
