You’re trying to stick to your calorie deficit, and you’re choosing healthy foods. But by the end of the day, you’re starving—and that’s leading you to eat more than you planned, making real fat loss feel impossible.

In this Q&A Tuesday episode, I’m explaining exactly why this happens and what you can do about it. I walk you through the Protein Leverage Hypothesis, a study-backed framework that explains how getting your protein right can help you manage hunger, stay consistent, and finally see the fat loss results you’re after.

Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:

  • Why a calorie deficit doesn’t have to feel like miserable starvation
  • The most common mistake people make with protein—and how much you really need
  • What a major 2011 study uncovered about hunger, cravings, and calorie control
  • A simple, actionable strategy to start feeling fuller today

If this episode gave you a clearer game plan for managing hunger, send it to a friend who's serious about hitting their body composition goals too. And if you want a few high-protein meal ideas to help you hit your numbers easier, just shoot me a DM on Instagram or send me an email—I’ll send you a few of my favorites.
