Macros and Metabolism Beautiful Peach Podcast with Caitlen Schmidt

If you're stuck in a fat loss plateau and terrified to eat more, this episode will change how you see weight loss forever. In Part 2 of Healing Your Slow Metabolism, we're diving into how reverse dieting works, why strategically increasing macros can improve metabolism health, and how eating more food can actually set you up for long‑term fat loss without weight regain. This episode is for women tracking macros, under‑eating, and ready to stop the diet cycle and pursue sustainable weight loss.

If you've been stuck in a fat loss plateau, eating low calories, or gaining weight the moment you stop dieting, this episode explains why. In Part 1 of Healing Your Slow Metabolism, we break down how low‑calorie dieting slows metabolism health through metabolic adaptation, why cutting carbs or fat "works" short term, and what actually needs to happen before sustainable weight loss is possible. This episode lays the foundation for tracking macros, reverse dieting, and fixing the root cause instead of repeating the same dieting cycle.

If you're struggling with weight loss (those fat loss plateaus constantly holding you back), metabolic adaptation (aka a slow metabolism from 1200 calorie deficits), self-worth, or feel like you're doing "everything right" but still not seeing results – this episode is for you. In this episode, I'm diving into the subtle (and sneaky) ways diet mentality keeps women stuck in a fat loss plateau, even if they're not actively binging or following a restrictive plan. From tracking out of fear to avoiding certain foods out of guilt, I'm walking through how diet culture shows up in your thoughts, your habits, and your relationship with food and your body.

If you've been stuck eating 1,200 calories and wondering why your body still isn't losing weight, this episode is for you. Caitlen breaks down the science of metabolic adaptation, explains why undereating stalls fat loss, and shares the real solution for long term fat loss. You'll walk away understanding how to support your metabolism, what a reverse diet is all about, how tracking macros can help you hit your goals, and finally create sustainable fat loss results.

Struggling with a fat loss plateau even though you're tracking your macros? In this episode, I walk you through the exact 4 step troubleshooting framework we use with our clients to figure out why the scale's not budging, and what to do about it. Whether you're in a reverse diet, calorie deficit, or maintenance phase, these steps will help you uncover what's stalling your weight loss and get your metabolism back on track for sustainable results (with no more binge eating and ONLY food freedom hehe).
